The welcoming destination of Potokaki is a good choice if you've been considering a getaway with your kids. The island setting, museums, and cheese shops are just some of the things that make this an attractive family vacation spot. Fly into Samos (SMI-Samos Intl.), which is the closest airport, or Ikaria Island (JIK), which is located 31.4 mi (50.5 km) from the city center.
