Kerkis is the highest mountain (1450 m) in Samos island and the third higher in Aegean islands, after Psiloritis in Crete and Fanari in Samothraki.
It is said that the name Samos comes from the Phoenician word Sami, which allegedly means high ground, a characterization that can be justified by the height of mount Kerkis (1445 m) & the impression that it gave to the sailors when they went past the island.
