Breakfast buffet was excellent and a high quality everyday. All the staff are super friendly and really helpful, very knowledgeable on the area and can help with local taxis, tours etc. Went out of their way to offer us two different rooms to choose from on arrival. Was fun that we could all share a room as friends in 3 separate beds.

Location is fabulous. Located in a quintessential Greek village, there is a square which boasts a bakery/cafe, a good restaurant and a church. There's a taverna on the beach, which is a couple of minutes walk from apartment. Also, it's a nice walk along the seafront to Sami, the closest town.
Decently equipped kitchen. Excellent balcony. Comfortable bed and amazing hot shower!

We really enjoyed our accommodation in villas Iliachtides. The landscape , the gardens and all the scenery was very beautiful and peaceful and very well decorated. Οutdoor areas of the villas and the pool area were very clean, organised and beautiful. I have never seen such a beautiful garden in my life. The inside of the villa has many conviniences , it is modern and all the areas were very clean. Airconditions are everywhere inside the villa and we had warm water whenever we wanted. We cooked in the kitchen every day because it is spaceful and has all the conviniences. Also there is a dish washer, a laundry and all these things made our life very easy. The parking area is huge and free. The view was amazing as we could see all the ocean and the mountains! It was like a painting. The hostess was very friendly and she helped us a lot. We have already decided to book the villa again next year.

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.
Located just 20 metres from Elies Beach in Afia Efimia, Poseidon Apartments offers studios and apartments with balconies, enjoying views of the Ionian Sea. Free Wi-Fi is available in all areas.

Brilliant location and so comfortable all round. Everyone was so welcoming and warm and friendly. Thank you to Manoulis for the wonderful welcome and also to the beautiful lady who gave us one of her gardenias from her garden . The pots of basil and the gardenias in bloom were a beautiful welcome. Breakfast was perfect! Highly recommend and hope we can return one day.

Strategic location in the middle of the island - everything is close. Quiet and clean village with a good bakery close to the hotel (with breakfasts and a good coffee). And mainly - Antisamos Beach is just 15 minutes drive from Karavomylos. It's for sure the best beach in Kefalonia, don't look for any other. Sun beds for free, restaurant with a great food and a perfect coffee (+ very friendly staff), white pebbles beach and a lot of places for parking.

Karavomylos is a beautiful location by the sea.
Karavomylos is a beautiful location by the sea. The thoroughfare has shops and all amenities you would need. The area by the water is just stunning and we cannot recommend it highly enough. Our favourite place to eat is at the Karavomylos Taverna, where Georgios and his staff make you feel very welcome. The food in incredible! Karavomylos is a wonderful location to stay with its proximity to many attractions.

We visited 15-24 October and some restaurants and shops were already closed for the season. But those tavernas/restaurants that were open were excellent. No crowds and very little traffic. Quiet traditional small Greek town with very friendly people. Harbour area is pleasant area to stroll in the evening. Antisamos beach is close by and worth a visit. Pebble beach but clear water very quiet at this time of the year, relaxing. Plenty of tavernas and restaurants, mini-markets and ferry terminal to Ithika. Fiscardo is worth a visit if you can stomach the mountain drive - some very high, narrow and winding roads - beautiful views but not for the feint hearted.

Karavomylos is a lovely village situated on the east coast of Kefalonia, close to and within walking distance of the working port town of Sami, with it lovely restaurants and shops. Close by are areas of natural beauty such as Melissani lake, the ancient city of Same and the new addition of Odysseus zoo land. Horse riding and donkey trekking are available also. Being relatively centrally located makes it a good starting point to explore the island, but if you stay local then there are plenty of beaches to choose from.

A nice quiet seaside place with beautiful views of Ithaca.
A nice quiet seaside place with beautiful views of Ithaca. Easy walk along the beach to Sami for good choice of bars and restaurants. The beach nearer to Sami was very good and you can.use the campsite facilities, including bars and a pool. You can also get buses up the coast to lovely beaches and Agia Effimia. Local taverna amd bakery were great!

It’s on the outskirts of Sami and very quiet - just a church, a bakery, a children’s activity playground (for young children) a mini market and a taverna. The road is very close to the water’s edge, so it’s not exactly a pebble beach but you can sit on the bench and watche the sea and admire Ithaca. It’s about a mile walk along the sea path to Sami.
We ate at Adonis in Adam I and weren’t impressed - it was okay but a bit generic. Mermaid, however, was lovely - fabulous stifado and burger. The local Taverna at Karavomylos did dry Moussaka one night and perfect Moussaks another night, chicken souvlaki that was moist and beautiful with fab chips, and the best stuffed peppers I’ve ever tasted. The bakery in Karavomylos is good enough to eat dessert in - try the orange pie and chocolate pie and their kadafia and baklava. Incredibly good
A homey, brand new house that we enjoyed at the fullest! Tastefully designed, new and expensive appliances, the terrace and the jacuzzi were amazing!
It’s located a few minutes away from Sami town, quiet, we felt like home.
Special thanks to Anastasis who was in constant contact with us on Whatsapp, caring for our well-being. Our needs and expectations were met, we hope to come back the fourth time to Kefalonia and stay again there. Couldn’t recommend enough ♥️and hope that the future tourists will enjoy and respect the place.
The bedroom was comfortable/spacious with welcoming air con and was cleaned daily. The communal inc. pool areas were clean and beautifully maintained with care and the staff were superb especially with my 1 year old son Max who was doted on and had meals specially prepared through out our stay. The breakfast was fresh, varied, tasty and plentiful. I’ve never been one to go to the same place multiple times but this hotel just be that place! A sincere thank you to everyone at the hotel!
Pandelis and Ntina are super nice hosts and with them we could experience the real Greek hospitality. The House is fabulous and in a very quiet position. They gave us homemade local food ( Ntina is such a good cook!) and gifts and they always took care of our plans and our needs. Our children had great fun in their big garden and loved the turtles. Karavomylos is a strategic place, very close to Sami and perfect to reach East and North Kefalonia.
Very nice accomodation. VERY close to Melissani cave and Karavomylos Lake / Taverna. Local bakery and couple of restaurants nearby. Unfortunately there is no market in Karavomylos, you have to go to Sami, which is 2km away (bus, car, or 25mins walk). Clean nice rooms with great seating outside. Host was very nice. There is a beach right upfront the accomodation, but it is more rugged and natural, more proper beach is 10mins away,
Beautiful apartment in a great location for experiencing Kefalonia. VERY clean and completly new inside and out. The air conditioning was awesome (hot July days). The bed was the most comfortable we have ever had in a vacation home. This was also true for the twin beds in the 2nd bedroom. But the best part of all was our host, Efi. She is amazing and will make your stay in Kefalonia magical.
We got a bigger room than what we booked for and the location was nice/clean and very close to the town and the Melisani cave. But the best part of our stay there was certainly the warm welcome and funny chats we had with Makis the owner, who has a very nice personality and plenty of humor.
We totally recommend this location and will stay there in the future if we return to Kefalonia again.
Very quiet and restful location, yet nearby shops available (5-10 minutes by car, to Karavomylos and Sami). Enclosed property with controlled parking (natural shadow there). Well furnished kitchen. Courtyard available with garden and an outdoor shower, handy in hot summer/early autumn days. There IS available wi-fi, contrary to the description on booking website.
Beautiful view of the sea right out of the room.
Angelo was very helpful and friendly. Communication was nice and smooth.
Air-conditioning in both bedroom and living room.
Great location, just 10 minutes from the city beach which is everything you need. Calm and cozy neighborhood.
We will definitely come back to stay there for our next trip to Kefalonia.
The hotel is very well located with a small beach just in front with sunbeds and umbrellas. The staff is helpful and the breakfast is very nice. Walking distance to Sami port by the see. Beach towels available. Rooms are well isolated, without noise.
The house has a classic look and feel and some lovely ornamental balconies. It is close to some restaurants, a small shop and cafe. This was our preferred place to a small hotel room in Sami port (after the boat from Lefkada). Fresh cotton bed linen.
Spacious apartment with beautiful view and an enthousiastic and helpful hostess. Close to the beach and with the possibility to use the amenities of the closeby hotel.
Everything, the apartment is beautiful and the area is perfect!
On kefalonia I advise a hire car so you can see as much as possible! It's a beautiful island!
