Once you reach the port of Kamariotissa, you will need to take a ferry to the island of Samothraki, which takes about 30 minutes. The ferry runs regularly, but it is advisable to check the schedule in advance. Upon arriving at Kamariotissa, follow the signs towards Chora (the main town) and then take the road leading to the Lagoon of Agios Andreas. The lagoon is located on an unnamed road approximately 15 kilometers from Chora. Look for signs as you get closer to the lagoon.
