Sami
Along the eastern edge of Kefalonia, seafront Sami is a stone’s throw from one of Kefalonia’s most iconic and beautiful beaches – Antisamos. This curling bay of bright white pebbles promises to wow, as do the famous Melissani Lake and Drograti Cave nearby. It’s all rather chic in town, with go-slow water’s edge tavernas.
A charming town with naturally beautiful surroundings, Sami was selected as one of the main filming sites for Captain Corelli’s Mandolin. Its old villages and bright white beaches proved to be such stunning settings that they had many cinema-goers jumping on the next plane to Kefalonia!
Talk of the town
Sami is the third-largest town in Kefalonia, but that doesn’t mean it’s just full of crowds. You’ll find that its port serves as the main link to nearby islands, with staggering scenes of the place Odysseus called home. There are even sailing routes to southern Italy and the Greek mainland.
Ancient attractions
This corner of Greece has a long legacy in mythology and ancient times. Get ready to check out the Acropolis of Sami for yourself! The stone structures are just rubble now, but you’ll still see breathtaking views from the top of the mountain, plus awesome ageing monasteries.

Beautiful Hotel, on the seafront. Every room has a balcony and sea view. Very clean throughout. Excellent breakfast and the Pool Bar serves food throughout the day. Wonderful fresh water pool (with shallow end), and adjoining pool for kids. This is a family run hotel, and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. The Hotel is a short picturesque seafront walk from the village of Sami, where the people are welcoming, and the cuisine is varied and traditional. No rowdy bars - this is not the place for 18-30 groups - Thank God. 10 out of 10 for us - David & Denise (June 2022)

This is a beautiful hotel and will not disappoint anyone who appreciates a perfect location, excellent facilities and good quality food. The rooms are very well equipped and spacious. The hotel area is compact and well looked after. The views are to die for and a short walk to Sami, taxi ride to Aghia Efymia or Antisamos beach are all easily done. The pool is lovely and clean as is the pool area with super comfy gazebo beds for an afternoon snooze.
