BALOS, KOUMEIKA
A hidden gem in the stunning island of Samos
Our villas are located in the charming beach of Balos, which serves as the port of the village of Koumeika, just 2 kilometers away. The etymology of the name “Balos” is fascinating, deriving from the traditional Greek dance performed by couples and originating from the Latin word “ballo” meaning dance, which comes from the ancient Greek word 'βαλίζω' [vallízo], meaning to move or to dance.
