Is Samos safe for solo female travelers?

Samos is generally quite safe for solo female travelers. Like most destinations, it does require common sense and awareness of one's surroundings, especially during the night. The Greeks are friendly and welcoming, but as in any situation, it's important to stay vigilant. Stay in populated areas, avoid secluded places after dark, and remain alert at all times. It's not uncommon for locals and other tourists to go out of their way to assist solo travelers. Make sure to know some basic Greek phrases and have your accommodation details in case you need help.

How safe is Samos for female travelers?

Group travel

It's a very safe island with friendly locals. The food is very good. Make sure that if you book your stay from booking.com, it may show available, but when you get to the hotel, they may say it’s not. So if you have contact with them first, it would be better.
