Why this position
Rests on more guest reviews than #1 (558 to 266), at a slightly lower score (8.8 to 9.3).
Doryssa Theorem Hotel is built for couples who want to be in the thick of Pythagoreio without giving up a calm, modern room… The adults-only hotel sits a few steps from Tarsanas beach, with the harbour and its tavernas a couple of minutes' walk away, and guests keep returning to three things: the minimalist design, rooms kept spotless, and a breakfast with local dishes and fresh pancakes. The compromises are clear. There is no pool, only a hot tub in the small spa area, so beach days start with a short walk. Rooms on the garden or lower level have small windows and little view, and a few guests found twin beds where they expected a double. Ask for an upper floor with a balcony and confirm the bed type in advance. Do that, and it is an easy, stylish base for exploring Samos; if you picture lazy days by a hotel pool, look at a resort outside town.
Why this position
Scores higher than #2 (9.1 to 8.8), on a smaller body of reviews (521 to 558).

Areas drawn from our hotels' addresses — updated as the selection changes.
Pythagoreio
Best for History and diningThis historic harbour town on the southeast coast features a bustling waterfront lined with tavernas alongside notable archaeological sites.
Potokaki
Best for Quiet beach staysA relaxed coastal strip west of Pythagoreio, characterised by a long pebble beach and modern low-rise resorts.
Areas to consider
Some beachfront resorts near Potokaki sit directly under the flight path of Samos Airport, which can result in intermittent aircraft noise during the daytime.

How we chose these hotels
At our latest review (August 2026) the properties listed above were measured against the same standard: sustained guest scores on both Booking.com and Google — weighted by how many reviews sit behind them — five-star class or an equivalent premium level, a genuinely first-rate location, and facilities that set the hotel apart.
As a guideline we look for around 8.5 or higher on Booking.com, but no single number decides on its own — when the sources disagree, the broader evidence wins. Guest scores on this page update continuously, and the selection is re-reviewed at regular intervals. The full standard is described in how we choose hotels.
