If you can only visit one beach during your stay on Samos, be sure to make it Mikro Seitani. This small and secluded beach is reachable only on foot or by boat, and it is well worth the hike. Surrounded by large rock formations and lush vegetation, it is by far the most scenic beach on the island.

Parc de Montjuzet is the largest park of Clermont-Ferrand, overlooking the city from the top of a hill, offering a privileged viewpoint and a stunning panorama of the city and its surroundings. Made up of Mediterranean and exotic gardens, it also houses many playgrounds, perfect for families who want to escape the bustle of the city centre and relax while enjoying a splendid view.

The little town of Boquete offers a good selection of restaurants catering to all tastes and budgets. Since Boquete is an agricultural town, chefs have access to the freshest organic vegetables and herbs. One praiseworthy local restaurant, The Rock, is located on the banks of the Palo Alto River, just outside of central Boquete. The large windows allow for fantastic views up the valley, and the fireplace seating area is a cosy spot at night. "Food without pretences" is their motto, and the menu focuses on locally available produce and meats. Steaks and ribs are cooked to perfection and may be accompanied by artisan beers made exclusively for the restaurant or the perfect wine. Thursday is All-You-Can-Eat Rib Night. If you are in Boquete, a meal at The Rock is a must.
