Pythagoras Cave
One of the great attractions on Samos is the cave where Pythagoras lived and worked as a philosopher, mathematician, astrologer, doctor and musician. Legend has it he used the cave as refuge from the tyranny of Polycrates. The site is made up of two caves and two chapels, with 'holy water dripping from its stalactites, and was used for prayer, teaching and residence. The cave near the base of Mt Kerkes but the climb may be a bit difficult for some.Address: Mt Kerkes, 2 miles (3km) from Kambos Marathokambou
