When you book your car with yes rent a car Samos, you’re not just getting a vehicle — you’re also getting our local knowledge. One of the most important tips we share with our guests is about GPS navigation systems.

Since 2023, Google and Apple have been updating their maps on Samos. It sounds modern and helpful, but in reality, these digital routes can be very misleading. Many guests have shared their stories with us: instead of arriving at their destination, they were sent onto tiny village paths, roads unsuitable for cars, or even staircases in the old town of Samos (Vathi). One guest joked about making a “navigation confession” after following their GPS down a set of steps!

The problem is simple: in the past, these narrow streets were made for donkeys, not cars. And while the donkeys are gone, the streets remain just as narrow. A navigation system doesn’t understand that — but we do.

That’s why at yes rent a car Samos, we provide each guest with a small, clear, paper map. It may sound old-fashioned, but it works — and it’s actually part of the fun. With a real map in hand, you might discover an idyllic mountain village or a quiet beach you hadn’t planned to see. And isn’t that what a holiday on Samos is all about?

We’ve been helping happy guests explore Samos for over 20 years, and with more than 800 five-star reviews on Google, we know that the personal touch makes the difference. So trust us: don’t trust GPS 100%. Trust local knowledge, and enjoy discovering Samos at your own pace.
