Mary's Studios & Apartment, hotel in Sami

Set in Sami, 600 metres from Karavomilos Beach, Mary's Studios & Apartment offers accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking.

We had a brilliant time at Mary’s. The location in town is perfect - quiet but a stone’s throw from the seafront with shops etc very nearby. Apartment itself has everything needed (even a coffee machine!) and is stylishly and cleanly decorated. Very much appreciated the owners attention to detail and it made for a lovely home away from home while exploring the island. Angela was hugely helpful and welcoming. Thank you!

Melissani hotel, hotel in Sami

Offering free WiFi, Melissani hotel offers rooms in Sami, a 2-minute walk from Sami Beach and 2km from Cave Melissani. The property is set 2.5 km from Antisamos Beach. Every room comes with a balcony....

The hotel is very well situated near the ferry and near the seafront and the many restaurants. It is a family run hotel and the owner Eleni couldn’t have been nicer. Her elderly mother and father were also lovely. The hotel is basic but very clean and the roof top is a lovely place to sip a glass of wine with a wonderful view.

SAMI BEACHVIEW, hotel in Sami

Featuring a patio with mountain views, a garden and barbecue facilities, SAMI BEACHVIEW can be found in Sami, close to Karavomilos Beach and 300 metres from Cave Melissani.

Took us an out to get there from airport (at night). Sami was a great and central place to stay as we wanted to drive around the island. The apartment had a walk in shower which would flood if not careful but no issue. Little kitchen. Big bed which was really comfy. Balcony. All you needed in one space. Plenty of restaurants on harbour front and there’s supermarket, butchers around the corner as well as else where. Parking on the street was easy. We went out of season so I wonder if that would change? Would recommend travelling the island! And exploring Sami and surrounding areas.

Stalaktites Studios, hotel in Sami

The studios Stalaktites are located in the area of Drogarati, near the Drogarati Cave, and only 3 km from the port of Sami.

What went well?..... Everything! Communication was excellent. Afrodite accommodated our requests prior to arrival - such as a ground floor apartment - and check in process was simple..... reception inside the gift shop for the caves and collect keys. Car is a must, IMO, unless you're a walker but the heat can be dangerous so be sensible! The apartment was pristine, comfortable and well equipped. Cleaner comes every single day - unexpected but most welcome although, on some days we just said "No, thank you" as we'd hardly been there and there really wasn't anything that needed doing. Bless her - the cleaner actually looked disappointed and I wondered if she only got paid per apartment but I checked and that was not the case. Managed to drop my SIM card inside the apartment and didn't realise until next day when we were on an all day boat trip. Hooked onto my friend's data, sent a message to Afrodite and, 12 minutes later, had a reply that it had been found! Pool was immaculate and a really good size. Plenty of sunbeds and shade and at the very tail end of the season and into October, we had the pool to ourselves most days. Added bonus - it was lit at night until around 11pm which we took advantage of on our first night and several others. It's a peaceful place and we had an absolutely fabulous time there. We have both previously stayed at Pericles Hotel on each of our individual visits to Kef but our dates meant we couldn't this time. Always been happy enough there but Stalaktites surpassed it by a country mile. Looking forward to returning next year!

Captain's Gem, hotel in Sami

Captain's Gem in Sami features accommodation with free WiFi, 40 metres from Sami Beach, 3 km from Cave Melissani. Guests staying at this holiday home have access to a fully equipped kitchen.

Captain’s Gem and the town of Sami was our favorite location during our two-week tour across Greece (it is our new home away from home). Great location, beautiful rooms, walking distance to shops, restaurants, and the beach. The accommodations and the view of the harbor is exceptional. The host was excellent. Very clean, spacious, and modern accommodations. They even had a washing machine which was very handy for freshening up our clothing after the first eleven days of our trip.

Good communication from Angela. Location was excellent, walking distance to all amenities in Sami. The welcome gift was good. The house was well equipped, really handy having the washing machine. The garden was pleasant, though looking a bit tired.

    Sami gave me what I wanted, small, quiet resort but with plenty of restaurants, cafes and a few shops/ bakeries. Fatto a Mano has the best spanikopita! Scenery was beautiful, harbour very pretty. The beach is narrow but water is very clean and great for a swim (no facilities on beach)

    Good middle base for visiting all parts of Kefalonia, right near Melisanni and Drogarati caves. Sami centre has lots of nice restaurants. Adonis was our favourite. Great beach Antisamos is nearby. Myrtos beach about 25 mins away in car. Showers on beach a nice touch. Pretty private coves, good snorkelling, clear turquoise waters. Lots of friendly cats 🐱 Had a beautiful holiday.

    Sami is the main ferry port so is ideal for access to other islands. There is no beach only a narrow stretch of shingle There are numerous Tavernas along the harbour edge which are very pleasant and enable watching of the boats.

    We visited 3 locations over a 3 week stay

    We visited 3 locations over a 3 week stay Lassi, Skala then Sami, to have a base to to explore Kefalonia easier. Which we feel worked out perfectly. Sami was great, we hired a Boat from 'Compass Renta boat' on two occasions - very nice people - would 100% recommend them. Used the boat to visit Ithaki.

    The location of the room is really convenient near to Sami's port. Sami is at the heart of the island so I recommend it to anyone who wants t explore the whole island. The room is renovated and redecorated and the bed and pillows are amazingly comfortable. The room is on the first floor of a family residence so the hosts also live downstairs. This makes the place ideal for anyone who wants to learn about greek hospitality and live with locals but it can make the experience unpleasant to anyone who wants privacy and personal space.

    We love Sami and enjoyed staying in the apartment. The facilities were good and the outside space with the swing seat and other seating was great. It’s in an old building so it never felt horribly hot and we didn’t hear the neighbours apart from the odd door closing. The location is good, near supermarkets and all the restaurants. Parking was no problem. There are some great walks nearby. We appreciated the drinks and snacks left by the host. We also found the host helpful in sorting out extra keys for us.

    The location was quite close to Sami port where you can find anything you need (supermarket, restaurant etc). Beaches nearby were also very good. You can drive from there to all highlights in maximum distance 1-1.30 hour for each. Our stay at Nightflower was very pleasant and full of relaxation. The room was quite equipped with the basics and hosts were helpful, friendly and full of hospitality! We definitely recommend this accommodation. We will be back for sure!

    The apartment was clean and very comfortable. It’s location in Sami is on a main street just 1 block from the waterfront. It’s a nice quiet spot with easy, close access to everything in town. Street parking is right outside the apartment and across the street is a great supermarket with everything you may need for your stay. Access to the apartment is easy and quick with extremely helpful owners and staff. We would definitely stay here again!

    Remezzo Apartments is located in the centre of Sami with plenty of restaurants and bars in 1-2' walking distance. The room smelled amazing when we entered and was sparkling clean with a very comfortable king size bed including also very comfortable pillows! Also the lady that welcomed us was very helpful and pleasant. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Sami.

    Fanatastic service from a friendly team. Everyone at Sami beach goes out of their way to help. It seemed most guests had been coming here for years which is a big testament to the Hotel. Great location on a beautiful Island. Nice breakfast, Padel Boarding, Tennis, Table Tennis and a great well stocked beach bar.

    Great views, great location and great friendly staff! Spotlessly clean. We enjoyed our stay so much and would recommend marias to everyone! Just a 5 minute walk into Sami and a 10 minute drive to antisamos beach which is by far the best on the island in our opinion.
