Samothrace (Greek: Saothra'ky, Samothraki, Turkish: Semadirek) is an island in Greece, in the northern Aegean Sea. The name of the island means Thracian Samos. The town is locally called Chora. It is a self-governing deme in the prefecture of Evros and is the westernmost and the southernmost in the province of East Macedonia and Thrace. It is the southernmost island and point in Greek Thrace. It is only a few kilometres west of the maritime boundary between Greece and Turkey. The island is 17 km long and is 178 km in size and has a population of about 2,300. Its main industries are fishing and tourism.
The major archeological site of 'the Sanctuary of the Great Gods' centre of a mystery cult that rivaled Delphi. there is a small, excellent museum that has a plaster cast of the famous'winged victory of samothrace' as a consolation that the original was looted from the site by the Louvre in Paris.

Fonias River - Second Falls
Made by Graham McVicker
The Fonias River on the island of Samothraki has a set of six or seven waterfalls that provide a fantastic setting for swimming (look closely and you can see a swimmer in this picture). The first couple of falls are fairly easy to walk to, but the path becomes increasingly vague and treacherous farther up the river. This photograph is of the second falls, but I went as far as the third and fourth. Samothraki, Greece
