Where to go?

Sami, a charming port village nestled along the east coast of Kefalonia, lies within a picturesque inlet facing the enchanting island of Ithaki.

Wander through Sami Village and discover an array of shops—from food markets to gift boutiques—along with delightful waterfront restaurants. Remnants of ancient history adorn the landscape, including Paliokastro, the old fortress that once overlooked Sami town, and Agii Fanentes, featuring ruins of Roman houses.

Just one kilometer away lies Dichalia village, renowned for its association with the film “Captain Corelli’s Mandolin,” which recreated the “Pelagias” village. Though no remnants of the film set remain due to earthquake damage, the area still offers captivating sights. Take a stroll along the same road to Agrilia Monastery, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, and revel in its breathtaking views of Ithaki Island and Antisamos bay.
