Chora of Samos

The Chora of Samos refers to the rural and agricultural hinterland surrounding the main city of Samos in ancient Greece. It encompassed farmland, small villages, and natural landscapes where farmers cultivated crops, raised animals, and supplied resources to the city. This region was vital for sustaining Samos’s economy and population, providing food, raw materials, and a connection to the natural environment. In addition to its practical functions, the Chora often held religious and cultural significance, reflecting the relationship between the community and their land.
