<jats:p>On October 30th, 2020, a magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck offshore from the northern coast of Samos, Greece, generating a tsunami that impacted the nearshore Greek islands and the Aegean coastline of Turkey. The 2020 Samos (Aegean Sea) tsunami is arguably the most significant event in the Aegean since the 09 July 1956 Amorgos earthquake and tsunami that produced runup values as high as 20 m on the south coast of Amorgos (Okal et al., 2009). Maximum runup reached 3.8 m along the Turkish coast (Dogan et al., 2021), and ~3 m on the north coast of Samos Island (Kalligeris et al., 2021). We present detailed results from several post-event field surveys, and report first wave arrival timing and polarity information as well as tsunami height/runup measurements, from five islands. </jats:p>
