The Greek prefecture of Samos ( Greek Σάμος ) was one of three prefectures in the administrative region of the North Aegean until 2010 . It was formed in 1915 from the islands of Samos and Ikaria (Ικαριά) and the Fourni Korseon archipelago (Φούρνοι Κορσνων) in the eastern Aegean . The administrative center of the prefecture was the city of Samos (Σάμος ( f. Sg. )) On the island of the same name. With the Greek administrative reform in 2010 , the prefecture was abolished and divided into two regional districts ( Ez.gr.periferiaki enotita ) Samos (the island and municipality of Samos) and Ikaria (the municipalities of Ikaria and Fourni), which apart from the allocation of seats for the regional council have no political significance.
