Karlovasi or Limani Karlovasou is a 1 km. long sandy beach on the north-western part of Samos, right next to the port of Karlovasi. The easy access makes it quite popular for Karlovasi inhabitants and for visitors that choose to stay in Karlovasi. The beach is very much affected by the northern winds and it is not organized, but there are taverns and cafeterias around. However, gazing to the endless blue horizon makes the Karlovasi beach worth a visit.
