Me and my partner have been to the Nikos Apartments twice now and really injoyed our time there. The apartments were always really clean and kept tidy.
Nikos and Elena, and their two lovely children, have always made us feel really welcome (the fresh lettuce and peppers we were given by Nikos were fabulous).
Although Sami is quiet it has some fabulous Tavernas, particularly the Mermaid, Dolphin and the Riviera, whose staff are friendly, polite and curtious.
Would recommend these apartments to anyone. We had a great time and hope to return many times in the future.
Ps. The kittens were great as well.

| Have just returned from two glorious weeks at the Nikos Apartments. Our room on the first floor was lovely, with a balcony overlooking the pool area. The weather was perfect. Our first visit to Greece, not our last. Nikos and Elena worked their socks off to keep everything clean and tidy.
The back road walk into Sami is a lovely walk past all the olive trees and locals animals. We found Sami very relaxed and friendly at this time of year ( early May ). A car is essential for some of the time as we didn't come across any public transport to visit nearby towns. Will definitely return to The Nikos Apartments. |

Six of us first went to the Nikos Apartments in Sami last year in 2007 and had such a nice stay we all decided to go again this year. We've only just returned from the most fabulous 2 week holiday there. If you like a relatively quiet and peaceful resort, with lovely eating places, exceptional weather (one day temperatures reached 42 degrees) then Sami and the Nikos Apartments are for you.
Everything about the Nikos Apartments is delightful - Nikos, his wife Elene (and their two young daughters) all help to run a beautifully clean place while Grandad looks on. There are not many mosquitos either.
 
The pool, although small-ish, is superb. When we wanted to use the BBQ facilities, we only had to ask. Nothing was a problem for them. Although none of the family speaks English we did get by with the little Greek we knew and a great deal of arm waving, as someone else once said in another review.
Places we ate at and found pretty good were:
- The Dolphin
- The Mermaid
- Adonis
- Moonlight (out of town in the next village)
- The Watermill (along the coast))
Thanks! Nikos and Elene, hope to see you again one day.

frederick quantrell (June 11, 2008) |
my wife and i stay at the nikos every year for the last 3 years
we found the rooms clean a good view out to sea
the family elena & her husband put a lot of work
into keeping the place clean they dont speak english
but a lot of arm wavering usually does the trick
the only taverna we use in sami is the Dolphins
food is good dimitri the manager also owns a
nightclub and after your meal complimentary
drinks are offered

Just returned from 2 weeks at the Nikos Apartments. we were allocated room 9, very clean, ground floor with very spacious patio. Walking to the town is not a problem as there is as very quiet back lane which is a very pleasant and safe route to both the town and the beach. We did not hire a car, but we did walk to Antisamos beach twice, and as long as you allow yourself time (about 1-1.5 hours) to enjoy the walk it is not that hard going.
Enjoyed looking after ther 3 little kitties which visited us every evening. Lovely Tavernas in the town, really reccomend The Mermaid & The Dolphin.
One of our best holidays as ther are so many things you can do even if you don't choose to hire a car, including local buses and also boat trips from the harbour.
No complaints at all except that you have to come home again, hope to return one day. |

I have to say after reading some of the comments on this website AFTER I had booked my holiday I was a fraction worried.......especially when I arrived in Kafelonia to be given a key to my room which turned out to be the dreaded No.11!!!!! Having read the comments on this website I had a very panicy coach journey to Sami worried what horrors may await me.
I can happily confirm that my fiancee and I had the most amazing holiday, we had no complaints with regards to the apartment, everyone we had the pleasure of speaking to was more than pleasant and accomodating so much so that we are flying out there for the second time in two years.
And I have no idea what all this nonsence is about the dog, when we visited the dog was tied up which is very normal for Greece (I have been to greece about 30 times) and the dog always have plenty of water and was very well taken care of!!
I reccommend the Nikos apartments and Sami to anyone wishing for a relaxing enjoyable holiday!! |

Just read your update David, and whilst I appreciate you feel strongly about animals, I have too travelled extensively and actually lived abroad for 10 years. My parents ran a sanctury for abandoned dogs for over 8 years and cared for many, many mis-treated and abused dogs.
I am fully aware of what the do to cats on the Greek islands and am also aware that the do it in Turkey, Portugal and most other southern European Countries.
I object strongly to any animal cruelty and hate Bull Fighting, chickens and poultry tied together by their legs, ill fed so called pets and many other awful things that occur in Europe alone. However, the poor dog at this resort at least had water, shelter and (per my conversations with an English couple who had stopped at the Nikos for 7 years in a row) found out that the dog was walked and regularly fed.
Whilst I would never treat my own pets like this, the point I am trying to make is, if you feel this strongly about the way the dog was, how do you cope travelling through Northern Spain and the way market animals are treated or through Turkey where I've seen animals beaten and in real distress?
I also referr you to Paul Moss's comments too.
I admire your concern and do apologise for the flippant comment.
Ps. Will not be entering into any further dialogue as its a holiday review site and don't want it full of our difference of opinion.

Dear john
I am pleased to hear your report that the dog is fine.
"PS. The dog is fine. Loads of water and attention and well looked after. The complainer obviously needs to get a life and appreciate other cultures.."
I don't plan to get into a slanging match with you but it is possible that the dog you saw was not the poor specimen we saw. As to getting a life and embracing other cultures, I work as a journalist and travel extensively. I am also very familiar with dogs through dog ownership and work with UK Search and Rescue dogs, I have also been involved with dog sled racing both in the UK and America.
It may well have been the fuss kicked up by ourselves and the others at the appartments that caused a change in the treatment of the dog. On a similar front perhaps yopu would like to go to Sami or other Kafalonia resorts out of season. You will find the cat population is dramatically reduced due to wide scale use of poisons to cull the feline numbers.

We have just returned from a week at the Nikos Apartments in Sami and we loved them. They are exactly as the brochure said. We had a lovely studio, room 3 which was on the top floor overlooking the pool. Without doubt the best accommodation I've had in Greece and I've visited a few different places.
The studio was clean and had towels changed twice when we were there. A ceiling fan which was great and kept us cool all night. The owners are constantly tidying and sweeping up and their little girls are a delight.
No dogs this year but a few cats which weren't a problem and some lovely kittens.
The resort is great, I was a bit wary after reading some reviews but I found plenty of charming restaurants, wonderful people and believe it has an excellent combination of working port plus tourist destination. Infact probably the best place on the island.
The road to the apartments is a bit busy but fine in daylight, in an evening we often got a taxi home from the town for just 3 euros. The Pericles Hotel is just up the road and we had full use of their facilities.
Travelled with Thomas Cook and their rep was great.
Lovely holiday ! |
