Description
Samos Sea or the Sea of Samos is the area bounded by Samos in the N, the coast of Asia Minor (Turkey) in the E, the island of Leros to the S, and the Fourni islands in the W. In general Samos Sea is less windy than the adjacent Sea of Ikaria to its W, with the exception of the Fourni-Samos channel.
Historical interest is centered in Samos and Patmos. The rest of the islands however provide a very pleasant cruising ground. In addition to ports there many coves which provide enchanted anchorages.
It is assumed that you start your cruise from Samos and proceed in a counterclockwise direction, first sailing W to Fourni, then S to Leros, NE to Agathonisi, and finally N back to Samos. In general, it is easier near the Asia Minor (Turkey) coast to sail N.

Weather
In the summer months the weather is dominated by the meltemi which comes from the NW, and from NE in the Mycale channel between Samos and Turkey.
For details see Aegean Weather.
Weather Windows
The best times to tour the Sea of Samos are in the Spring, May and June, and in the autumn, September and October. You are less likely to encounter strong meltemi winds and also all the anchorages are less crowded. Other than the weather-wise unpredictable winter months, the worse time to be cruising the Sea of Samos is during the month of August. In August not only will you encounter a number of meltemi gales but all harbors and anchorages, even the most remote, will be crowded as this is the prime vacation time in Greece and the rest of the EU.
In October, especially late in the month there can be southerly winds and occasionally thunderstorms, some of which can be severe. If you are cruising during that time you should always have two possible anchorages in mind: one protected from N winds and one from the S winds.
Communication
