This paper deals with the settlement of Armenians in Samos in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly after the destruction of Smyrna in 1922. It goes through the families of Armenians of Samos, their professions and their fate until the early 21st century, when this small community disappeared due to biological decay and death of its members. Finally it examines the ways in which the Armenians of Samos, mainly through their relations with the Orthodox Church of the island, fully integrated into the local cultural system, which has been a key part of their identity.
