This is the kind of property people picture when they dream of Greece: a fully restored beach house in Heraion, Samos, sitting right on the waterfront of Potokaki beach with open views across the bay to Pythagorio and the sea. The 71 m² single-storey cottage was completely restored in 1992 and has been a much-loved holiday home ever since — wake up to the sound of the waves, step straight onto a large terrace at the water’s edge, and live surrounded by nature, yet just a two-minute walk from the village of Heraion.
A restored beachfront cottage on Potokaki beach
The cottage offers 71 m² of comfortable ground-floor living and consists of three main rooms: an open living room with kitchen, a bedroom, and a bathroom. A versatile extra room works beautifully as a second bedroom, home office or guest space — ideal for families or for hosting friends through the long Samos summers. Warm wood-beamed ceilings and sea-facing windows give the interior a genuine island-holiday feel. The real showpiece, though, is the large terrace right on the waterfront: the perfect spot for long lunches, sundowners and watching the light change over Pythagorio across the bay.
The land and location
The property sits on a generous 2,124.88 m² of rural land by the sea (two adjoining parcels of 1,505.88 m² and 619 m²), giving you space, privacy and a true connection to nature. Despite the peaceful rural setting, you are only a two-minute walk from Heraion (Ireon) and its tavernas, cafés and everyday amenities. The area is steeped in history — the Heraion of Samos, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is right on your doorstep, and the picturesque harbour town of Pythagorio and Samos International Airport are both roughly 3 km away.
A rare holiday home and investment
Genuine beachfront homes on Samos rarely come to market, and a restored, ready-to-enjoy cottage directly on the sand is rarer still. Whether you are looking for a turnkey holiday retreat or a property with strong short-term rental potential in one of the island’s most sought-after coastal spots, this beach house ticks every box. Live in nature, fall asleep to the sea, and own a piece of the Samos coastline.
