#Nature has been very #generous to the area of Sami as the #location is surrounded by lush #vegetation, underground #caves and #beautiful lakes. In Sami the green of the trees touches the white of the sand and the #blue of the #sea, offering #stunning #sceneries like those in the #Hollywood #film Captain #Corelli’s #Mandolin which was filmed in the town of Sami and the neighbouring #beaches. The #town used to be one of the four major towns which formed the #Kefalonian tetrapolis in the #ancient times. It has been inhabited since the #prehistoric age, and nowadays it is a safe #port for domestic and foreign #ferries

Sami combines its #rich #historic background with beautiful nature and so it is a top-notch #destination for all kinds of #travellers
On the top of the hill, the ancient #ruins show that Sami was a well-organised and flourishing town. It was the only town on Kefalonia to resist the #Romans who wanted to occupy Sami because of its strategic location. Here lie the ruins of the ancient castle (Paleokastro) and the acropolis of Kyatis. The convent of Agioi #Fanentoi is also located in Sami and it is worth a visit if you would like to become more acquainted with Greek #Orthodox churches and their treasures. Another convent on the top of the hill is the Agrilies convent which was named after the surrounding trees, called agrilies in Greek. From here, you can enjoy #spectacular views of the bay of Sami and #Ithaca

The cave of Melissani and the #Drogarati cave (the two most visited and well-known #sights of the island) are situated in Sami, but what is unique about the area is the 17 registered locations of caves and underground lakes. This makes it the only place in Greece with such a rich geomorphology. For example, lake #Avithos the allegedly bottomless lake, is near Sami on the way to Poros. The rare #flora and fauna make the scenery incredibly beautiful

Sami is a #lively town which provides all kinds of facilities. If you decide to stay in Sami, there will be no need to go to #Argostoli or other places for daily necessities or for emergencies. Here you have everything you need, from pharmacies and a medical centre to ATMs, post office, police, coastguard and a fire department. There are a lot of shops to buy souvenirs and pieces of jewellery from, super markets and grocery stores. There are plenty of accommodation options, such as hotels, studios and rooms to let. Even though Sami isn’t the place where you would dance the night away and party till dawn, there are a lot of #taverns #cafes and #bars

If you like beach #holidays, then Sami will reward you with amazing beaches of white sand and emerald waters. Apart from #Karavomilos, which is the main beach of the town, just 4 kilometres away from Sami is the famous beach of #Antisamos. This is one of the main beaches where "Captain Corelli’s Mandolin" was filmed and the landscape looks like it's been taken out of a postcard. Even though there is a beach bar with sun loungers, the beach doesn’t get too crowded and you can still find unspoiled and more secluded spots. From Karavomilos on the way to Agia #Efimia, there are a lot of small coves with the beach of Agia #Paraskevi being the largest one. All of them are easily accessible by the coastal road and offer stunning views of Ithaca and the bay of #patras

Antisamos beach is arguably one of the most favourable destinations for #swimming and #sunbathing in Kefalonia. It is located 30.6 km east from Argostoli and pretty close to the port of Sami. Antisamos distinguishes for its natural beauty that consists of #turquoise waters and a marvelous surrounding of green hills and lush vegetation on top of it.

#DISCOVER KEFALONIA!

A beach like this could be nothing but well-organized with umbrellas and #sundecks. It is this stunning scenery that characterizes this area and captivates all visitors. Antisamos has gained worldwide reputation from the Hollywood movie Captain Corelli's Mandolin, where some of the scenes were filmed there. It is easily accessed from a coastal road in Sami.
