| The sufferings of the
war forced many people to seek a better future in the big cities
and abroad, especially in Australia and in the United States,
where a great number of Greek communities already existed. In
fact, after the civil war, emigration was the major feature of the
Samian society. The refugees were also attracted to other
countries, countries from Africa, South America,Canada, New Zealand,
as well as European countries like Belgium and Germany. After the
1950s the reconstruction of Samos began, while its tourisum
development really commenced after the 1970s. Tourisum is now one
of the most important activities of the areas near the sea and has
influenced many aspects of the people’s lives.
