The village of Mitilinii.

The village of Mitilinii is situated in the southern part of Samos. We have heard that the Aegean Paleontology and Physical Museum is situated here.
On the road to Pythagorio we make a detour to the village of Mitilinii where unique fossilize animals thatlived in the region 8-10 million years ago were discovered.

The museum is housed in a neat modern building situated on the outskirts of the village.
