Most visitors come to Samos for the sea. Some discover the mountains. But only a handful ever uncover the hidden world beneath their feet. Hidden among the slopes and valleys of Mount Bournia lives Stelios, known to us simply as Mr Mushroom Guy. Part explorer, part storyteller, and part culinary treasure hunter, he knows the island's forests, wild herbs, mushrooms, and truffles more intimately than anyone else. Together with his trusted Lagotto companions, Bella and Choco, he ventures into ancient oak groves and forgotten paths where nature reveals its treasures only to those who know how to look.

This is an experience of slowing down and surrendering to the rhythm of the forest. It is the scent of damp earth, pine, and wild herbs after rain. It is the quiet thrill of discovery as Bella and Choco unearth hidden truffles, and the deep, grounding sensation of connecting with a landscape that has remained unchanged for centuries.

Guests of Samos Untold, as well as outside visitors seeking the untold Samos, are invited to join Stelios on private foraging walks through these ancient woodlands. For those who prefer the comfort of their villa, Mr Mushroom Guy can bring the forest to you, hosting a private truffle and mushroom dining experience in your own home. The journey culminates in a private dining experience prepared by Stelios himself, using the very ingredients gathered from the island only hours earlier, paired with carefully selected local wines.
