Sami Travel & Hotel Information
Sami is a popular beach resort which also acts as an important arrival port from mainland Greece.
Looking from above, the bay is split into two settlements: Sami is to the right and Karavomylos to the left. Both have plenty of accommodation, although most is in private apartments, villas and rooms.
Those looking to expand their Sami search to include private rooms and apartments should use the search form to the right to get an idea of what accommodation is available and to compare prices during the period desired.

Getting around
The hour's bus ride to Argostoli is offered a few times daily in the summer months. Also in the summer there are services to Fiskardo in the north of the island, which pass through Agia Efimia and the junction for the road to Assos. The bus stop is located on the promenade near the harbour.

If you are travelling from Skala/Poros direction, do not forget to make a stop at the Olive Garden in Aghios Nikolaos at the hairpin bend (parking opposite). A small makeshift hut may not look appealing at first but the garden in front is very pretty and relaxing. Eleni and Vagelis will make you feel most welcome and their lemon meringue and apple pies are delicious.
