Astir Hotel is close to the city centre as well as to the harbor, ideally located just 200m from the coast of Messaio Karlovassi, on the north side of Samos. Besides the coast other local attractions are near by, such as the old tanneries and the Tannery Museum. Just a short distance walk is the centre of Karlovassi with its many places of interest, including the neoclassical buildings of the Aegean University Mathematical department, the Town Hall, the Elementary School, the Cathedral, the Folklore Museum and also the market and the local bus Terminal -so you can choose a route to every corner of the island. In the evenings visit the Old Karlovassi hill, walk on the tiny streets of this monument of life, enjoy the view of the town and the beauty of the sunset into the Aegean sea.
