Guided Hiking on Mount Saos, Samothraki

Higher Than Everest is a small, Alexandroupolis-based hiking outfit that runs organised treks up Mount Saos on Samothraki — at 1,611 metres, the highest point in the Aegean — along with routes to the island's waterfalls and natural rock pools.

Being based on the mainland side, they handle the ferry crossing and logistics as part of the trip, which matters on an island where trailheads and transport links aren't always obvious to a first-time visitor.

A good match for the Samothraki Day Trip if a museum-and-sanctuary pace feels too slow — this trades the ruins for a proper day of walking, with the same ferry crossing either way.
