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.

The property was well maintained and spotlessly clean.
The room had a kitchenette with all utensils you’d need to cook a light meal. Beds were comfortable and the room was newly refurbished.
A perfect stay in the most beautiful place.

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.

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.

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 property is a small, beautiful, traditional Kefalonian house. Very functional, clean and fully equipped for a family of 4. We liked the location at the edge of the town centre, the outdoor sitting area and terrace and the sea view. The garden, in particular, has the image of paradise: it opens up to the archeological site of the ancient Sami port, and it has undisturbed views of the Sami bay and the mountains beyond.
The Antisamos beach (one of the most beautiful beaches in Greece) is only a few minutes drive away. We visited it daily.
The place is in a way just magnificent. Good, well cleaned, well furnished and functional rooms, with all the greek-styled windows shades, balcony doors and all the rest 🙂
But the best part is the host, Memi (Themis' mother) - the greatest host we've met so far (not only in Greece, but overall)!
The location, in Sami, close to it's small port an marina, is great for Kefalonia - kind of in the middle of all the sites, with every corner of this big island within 1 hour driving reach.
We really enjoyed our stay. The accomodation is very close to the beach (we liked the local beach of Sami), 3 mins walk from the ferry from Patra. Very close to a big Spar, great bakeries and a gyros place. Also close to the walking trail to Ancient acropolis and Antisamos beach (which was too busy for our likings). This place is great for travels without a car, because you can find everything in Sami within walking distance.
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.
This is very good accommodation just slightly above and behind the lovely town of Sami. The views are spectacular and the location is perfect, just a 10 mine stroll from the sea front with bars and tavernas. Supermarkets are even closer. My apartment had a large comfortable double bed, good shower, excellent aircon and fast wifi and was in very good order throughout. There’s plenty of parking on site.
Fantastic accommodation in the heart of Sami. A good size room with a great shower, kitchenette and balcony. Im guessing all the rooms are the same. Great to see all the essentials ie coffee pods, tea, washing up liquid, nice bottle of local wine etc all included. Super pool with comfortable sun beds. Very tasteful design and spotlessly clean. I would highly recommend.
Maria and Angelique you were so nice and really great hosts. We read some reviews that people didn’t like the area of Sami but as a couple we really did love it. The apartment is so nice and so big and has everything you could possibly need, we were really comfortable. Also her dog is the cutest thing in the world:) We would definitely recommend this to everyone!
Excellent quite location with close proximity to the beach and Sami town. Having the pool was lovely and despite use by 3 families there are loads of sunbeds etc. The BBQ area is lovely. The beach is 10 mins walk and Sami town circa 1km. The only noise are the bells of the goats
Excellent location and stay. The apartment has fantastic terrace with sea view and less than 1 minute walk from the beach. Plenty of restaurants nearby, a few good shops too. The host is very friendly and helpful. Hope to visit again in the future.
We arrived via Ferry from Ithaca and found the hotel easily accessible along the path from the main town. We had very friendly and helpful service, and we took advantage of the free parking available when we rented a car for 2 days.
There was everything that we required including sufficient provisions for breakfast.The room was a very good size and very clean, a nice balcony to sit out on, close to the Centre of Sami.This is a superb place to stay.
Everything is great. The central location with port view, the high speed internet, the comfortable bed, the friendly host. It is nice and quiet in Sami in December, and this property adds more colour to the trip.
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.
