Our Emigration Adventure<\/h2>

Sometimes you just feel it. That things could be different. Calmer. Simpler. Closer to nature. For us, that feeling began on Samos.

We are Robert and Marjolein, and in February 2025 we left everything in Holland behind to continue our lives on this green, untouched Greek island. We bought a house, rolled up our sleeves, and started an adventure we never want to give up.

Next to our house is a separate guesthouse. From the very first moment, we pictured it: a place where couples can truly unwind. Where you wake up to silence, surrounded by greenery, with the sea never far away. A place where you don\u2019t just feel like a tourist, but really experience Samos. We completely renovated this guesthouse and transformed it into a small-scale holiday home called Bougainvillea Holiday Home<\/strong>. From Bougainvillea Holiday Home, you\u2019ll discover the island as we do.

The Bougainvillea is named after a French explorer.
The real flowers are hidden \u2014 small and white. Just like Samos, which doesn\u2019t reveal its most beautiful spots right away.<\/em>

Insider tips Samos<\/h2>

During our move and life on Samos, we quickly discovered that this island is so much more than its famous beaches. The real Samos is found in: small villages where time seems to stand still, hiking trails through mountains and vineyards, secluded beaches that are sometimes all yours and local tavernas where you linger until night falls.

With Explore Samos<\/strong>, we take you into that life. We share our personal experiences, insider tips, favorite routes, beaches, and places to eat \u2014 exactly as we discover them ourselves. Not from behind a desk, but from our everyday life here.<\/p><\/div>
