Vourliotes
Βουρλιώτες
A wine village above Kokkari, where small tavernas on the square are surrounded by vineyards. Nearby is the Frontzou Monastery, the oldest on the island.
Vourliotes lies on a hillside south of Kokkari, at an altitude of about 350 meters. Terraces growing Muscat grapes surround it, and the small central square is lined with colorful old houses and tavernas, where you can taste the local sweet white wine and traditional dishes. About 2 km east of the village is the Frontzou Monastery, built in the 16th century and the oldest monastery on Samos. You can hike up from Kokkari in about 1.5 hours, or drive up the winding mountain road. It can be combined with a visit to Manolates.
