4K Walk to Pythagoras Cave & The Chapel of the Virgin Mary | Climbing Mount Kerkis, Samos, Greece 🇬🇷
Join us on an unforgettable adventure to Pythagoras Cave and The Chapel of the Virgin Mary as we tackle one of the most iconic hikes on the Greek island of Samos. In this 11-minute hiking video, we climb the rugged slopes of Mount Kerkis (Mount Kerketeas), the highest mountain in the Eastern Aegean, under intense 30°C+ summer heat.
Legend has it that the famous Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras hid in this remote cave while escaping political persecution. Today, reaching the cave requires determination, endurance, and plenty of water—especially during the hot Greek summer. Along the trail, we also visit the beautiful Chapel of the Virgin Mary (Panagia Sarantaskaliotissa), dramatically built into the mountainside with breathtaking views over the Aegean Sea.
This hike combines history, spirituality, stunning landscapes, and a real physical challenge. If you’re planning a trip to Samos, Greece, or looking for the best hiking trails in the Greek islands, this is a route you won’t want to miss.
