Spatharei ( Greek Σπαθαραίοι ( m. Pl. )) Is a village in the south of the Greek island of Samos in the municipality of Pythagorio . Due to the location on the western slopes of the Karvounis Mountains at an altitude of about 580 meters, there is a view of the southwest of the island, the neighboring islands of the Fourni group and Ikaria and further to the islands of the Dodecanese . According to the 2011 census, the village had 236 inhabitants. Another eight coastal settlements belonging to the village emerged from the 1970s and, together with the small island of Samiopoula, had 101 inhabitants.

Spatharei was one of the most important olive producers on the island. The area up to the neighboring village of Skoureika in the municipality of Marathokambos and the coast was characterized by olive cultures until the fires in summer 1993. Another fire in July 2000 destroyed the forests around the village and 95% of the villagers' olive trees.
