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.
Situated just less than 1 km from Cave Melissani, Maria's Apartments offers accommodation in Sami with access to a garden, a terrace, as well as a 24-hour front desk.

Views of the countryside and the mountains overlooking the water were amazing. Peaceful location just outside of the main town, but close enough that we were able to walk there for dinner every night. Spacious flat provided all of the amenities and was able to accommodate four people comfortably.
Offering an outdoor pool and barbecue, Sami View is set in Sami. Cave Melissani is 800 metres away. There is also a kitchen, equipped with a toaster, refrigerator and stovetop. Towels are provided.

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!

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 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 .
We loved this place. The view, the balcony, the comfortable bed, and on the sea front. This place has all you could need for an amazing stay in the beautiful town of Sami.
Easy access and great communication from the owner added to one of our best stays. With plenty of fresh towels and linen brought to the apartment every few days, we highly rate this place in every way.
With beaches, taxis, shops, ferries, restaurants, and one of the best cake shops , this place is a perfect holiday stay.
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.
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.
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!
The studio is located in a house in the middle of a beautiful garden, so you feel like you are in a small oasis. High ceilings and pleasant colors make the studio larger than its square footage. The large balcony is very suitable for eating meals, and there are benches and tables for resting in the garden. The nearest beach is 10 minutes away and it is possible to walk to the center of Sami along the coast.
Good size apartment, comfortable, well equipped and spotlessly clean. Two balconies, one very spacious with mountain views as described. The location is perfect, with just a few minutes walk from Sami port, local shops and restaurants. The hosts, Tonia and George were really welcoming and friendly, they gave us great recommendations for local restaurants and other places to visit.
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 :).
I read a number of reviews before booking our stay at Sami Beach Hotel. Reviews are very positive and I can see why some stayers would find this hotel as good place to rest. It is in a very quiet place, by the sea with a very attentive staff. Rooms are basic but clean.
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.
Convenient location in a Sami back street close to ferry, shops, restaurants. Small garden with fruit trees and a patio/veranda is a pleasant oasis in the middle of the town
Location was good! Staff was helpful. Sami is small but you can enjoy some good food. Good location to visit some of the most beautiful beaches of Kefalonia.
