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.
Located within 400 metres of Karavomilos Beach and 1.5 km of Cave Melissani, Apartments Katerina by the sea provides rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Sami.

we liked the ability to short cut through the owners adjoining property to gain access direct to the coastal path and beach. we liked that there were porch area back and front of the property to facilitate sitting out in the sun at all times.

Short walk, 15(ish) minute walk to the centre of Sami. Amazing views of Sami and surrounds. Was in love with all the animals while I was there, especially the dogs
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!

The villa was beautifully presented with 3 lovely bedrooms, modern bathrooms with nice toiletries, excellent sitting area and kitchen and a large garage with some outside beanbags stored etc. The pool was nice, not big but fine for a dip - good amount of chairs and hammock etc. There was a lovely seating area for early evening drinks and a nice bbq area too that we didn’t use as only there for one night but looked very handy. It was a short drive to Sami waterfront where we went for dinner. We only stayed one night before catching a ferry to Ithaca but would have been very happy here for longer. Definitely need a car to get around but we had one so it was fine!

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.

Sami was great, we hired a Boat from 'Compass Renta boat' on two occasions - very nice people - would 100% recommend them.

Sami was a perfect base for North if the Island .
Sami was a perfect base for North if the Island . Alancia Suites are perfect . Plenty of places to eat and drink . Supermarkets were good .
Places to hire cars, bikes etc .
Lovely walks along promenade and marina
Local beaches pebbled but lovely .clean and plenty of space .
More popular beaches close by .
The room was a basic small double with shower room and kitchenette (two ring electric hob, fridge, kettle and all handy pans and utensils).
Everything was very clean, a little old round the edges but a perfect site to walk to small beach or the cafes and restaurants/shops.
Sami has everything you need for a nice holiday and Antisamos was 10 mins by car for a great beach with facilities.
Was useful to have a car and parking was free and available outside apartment.
I would recommend it.
Superb Villa in very quiet location, stunning views over Sami and out to sea, lovely pool with numerous loungers, outdoor chairs to relax in, great gym.
Very clean and tidy, pool was cleaned during our stay. Nice outdoor kitchen area which had brick built BBQ and Pizza oven.
Lady that owns the Villa was lovely.
Easy drive to local towns where there were ample places to park (for free). Numerous restaurants and local food stores. Was a little too far to walk if hot.
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!
Beautiful apartments. Very spacious and clean, with excellent facilities, including a fridge, hob, kettle, toaster and a coffee machine. Rooms cleaned daily with clean towels. Beautiful pool which was never busy during our stay. Staff were lovely and accommodating and helpful with recommendations for restaurants and places of interest to visit. Would highly recommend if your looking for somewhere to stay in Sami.
Wow, what a lovely place to stay! The location is perfect, quiet and close to town and the hosts are fantastic! Our room had everything we needed and breakfast in the garden every morning was a real treat. And Sami is the perfect place to stay to avoid the tourist crowds and explore the rest of the island. It's centrally located with many great taveranas and bars.
The location is great, it is a really good place to be near Sami in Kefalonia. The apartment was really clean and spacious. There are two balconies with a nice view. There is a bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and a living room. The apartment is really comfortable and you have everything you need. The house is also really beautiful. I liked this accommodation very much.
The position of the apartment was ok, opposite the supermarket and near the port and shops. It was good that the balcony view was on the mountain and in a quiet street. We choose Sami only for ferry to Ithaka and to visit Melissani and Drogerati cave. So this apartment for 2 days or transit, was ok. Wifi was good, also the kitchenette.
Everything was great! The room looks like in the photos. The view was amazing, you can spend whole days on the balcony 😁 Zak is great host, so kind and helpful :) He took us to the hotel from the bus station in Sami and explained everything to us. It is also worth going to the Adonis restaurant. We highly recommend it :).
This was an exceptionally clean and spacious apartment. We were very sorry we were only staying for one night! So well equipped and great thought into providing coffee, milk, jam etc. It had the best lit bathroom mirror I have ever had in Greece! Communication with the host was excellent.
Located in the middle of the East cost of Kefalonia, perfect location for visiting the entire Island. Very close ta Sami where you can find any service you need. The owner was kind and ready to resolve any problem or any our need during the journey.
Been in Greece several weeks. This has been the best hotel. Had a great free breakfast, great location, great amenities like a pool and small beach out front. Great room and service. Close to Sami but a little distance which was a good thing.
The location is great as it’s a short walk to the port.
The apartment was spotless clean and exceptional hospitality and service.
I extended my stay at the hotel for four more days for all the above reasons.
Very clean quiet appartment near the sea.
There is a nice taverna very close by and if you come with small children like we did, there is a playground nearby.
We enjoyed our stay there.
Very comfortable and clean apartment in a new-looking building on a hill overlooking the city of Sami. Very friendly owner living downstairs readily available for your needs.
