MARATHOKAMBOS (Small town) SAMOS
  Marathokampos is one of the biggest villages of Samos and the county seat of Marathokampos Municipality.
  The village is spread amphitheatrically at the slope of Mount Fterias (a mount that belongs to the Kerkis complex) and has a panoramic view towards south to the wide Aegean Sea and the holy island of Patmos.
  Marathokampos is an authentic traditional village with paved streets, stone springs, beautiful churches, big squares and stone built houses, based on the local architecture, which is unchanged through the last centuries. In Marathokampos is still saved the house of Kapetan Stamatis Georgiadis, a Samian hero, and the Elementary School, a building made by carved stones.
  The name Marathokampos origins from the Pre Hellenic word Maratho, which means "coastal sandy area".
  The habitants deal with agriculture, fishing, tourism, while many of them are sailors who travel all over the world. Marathokampos is also famous for the supreme olive oil, which is produced here and the high quality soap made from virgin olive oil.
