Pictures of people, objects, events etc. are permitted as long as they are of good quality and have cultural, historic or some general interest. For example photos of people dancing in a village fair are acceptable, photos of you and your friends enjoying saganaki in a tavern are probably not.

Avoid posting images with the same subject.

Avoid trivial images such as typical tourist snap-shots.

Post the very best images you have. We expect, high resolution, good lighting, unique subject matter and good framing.

Please refrain from using text on your images (websites, ads, title, name). If you really insist on including a copyright notice please do it with small inconspicuous fonts.

Title and tag your images appropriately. (name subject, location, event etc.)

The objective is to collect beautiful images of high quality that describe Samos and life in Samos in the best way. We don’t want to create a huge archive with all sorts of images.

Our aim is quality rather than quantity.
