We love kefalonia and Sami is a great spot from which to explore the island - beautiful and peaceful with lovely eucalyptus trees

Completely agree! Sami has such a peaceful charm. It's the perfect base for exploring everything Kefalonia has to offer!

Thank you so much for sharing. We never got to Sami when we were there 2 years ago. Looks gorgeous. Shame these little Aussie feet cant cope with the rock beaches. We must have looked hillarious going down the beach and then trying to work out how to get in the water. Do we walk in or flop in lol Just booked to go back next year for nearly 3 weeks and will definately hit Sami this time. Strange we travel halfway around the world for a beach holiday, when we have a gorgeous beach less than a km away, and havent swam there in over 10 years.

Thank you for your lovely comment! 😊 Sami is definitely worth a visit when you go back, and I can totally imagine the rock beach struggle - it’s all part of the adventure! 😄 Hope you have an amazing time on your next trip, and maybe this time Sami will be a new favorite.

@@jules682Jules as an Aussie i like Lassi. Beautiful sandy beaches. You can hire deck chairs, get food, wifi and even buy a beer at the beach clubs. That spun us right out. There are quite a few restaurants and a few grocery type shops to get drinks and snacks. Even beach stuff like snorkels. Your maybe 10 mins if that to Argostoli to go in for dinner if you wanted to or do some retail therapy. Maybe 15 min drive from the airport. And centrally located for sightseeing. We stayed at White Rocks which is gorgeous. But has lots of stairs if your travelling with kids or have mobility issues. For us it ticked all the boxes. We have just booked to go back next year. But we are staying in Argostoli this time. Hotel prices seemed to have gone through the roof. Though it could be our dollar is dreadful against the euro. Plus we drove to the beach every day, so figure may as well stay somewhere cheaper and drive to the beach. And we can walk 5 mins to all the restaurants in town and have a couple of glasses of wine and not have to worry about driving.

Hi, yes it was easy to get the bus from Argostoli. You can get the bus from Argostoli main bus station maps.app.goo.gl/Vfp18PcLaNxai5dm7. The route is not very often you can check the current schedule on their website www.ktelkefalonias.gr/en/routes/local-routes. I don't about the tavernas but i am guessing there should be some playing background music. Thank you

Thanks a lot for your great video. I’m planning to stay 8 nights in Kefalonia next month. In your opinion, is more beautiful/interesting Argostoli or Sami to plan my stay? Are thé beaches near Sami as beautiful as in the north of the Island? Thanks a lot for your help!
@JoyOfTraveler3 ай бұрын
Thank you for your comment! Both Argostoli and Sami have their unique charm and attractions. Argostoli is the capital and offers more amenities, restaurants, and nightlife. It's a great base for exploring the island, especially if you don't plan to rent a car. Near Argostolli in Lassi resort you can find also very nice sandy beaches. Sami, on the other hand, is quieter and closer to some stunning natural attractions like Melissani Cave and Antisamos Beach. The beaches near Sami are very beautiful, but with stones. The northern beaches like Myrtos are more picturesque. I hope this helps, and enjoy your trip!
