Hotels in Karlovasi

We booked Samian Mare specifically for the spa and weren't disappointed, the hot tub and year-round pool giving us options regardless of what the weather was doing outside. The restaurant's range meant we ate on site most nights, the vegetarian dishes genuinely thoughtful rather than an afterthought on the menu. The old tannery quarter's converted buildings were worth the short walk even without a set plan. University students cycling through town each morning gave the place a genuine local feel.

We used Samaina Port Hotel as a base for exploring the west coast, arranging car hire through the front desk for a day at Potami waterfalls that would have been much harder to plan alone. The two-minute walk to Samian Mare Beach filled the rest of our afternoons nicely between excursions. The old tannery quarter's converted buildings were worth the short walk even without a set plan. University students cycling through town each morning gave the place a genuine local feel.

We chose Anema for the kitchen as much as the beach, cooking most dinners in with produce from the local market and only eating at the on-site restaurant a couple of nights. The pool became our default on a windier day mid-stay, sheltered enough by the garden to feel like a calm break from the coast. The old tannery quarter's converted buildings were worth the short walk even without a set plan. University students cycling through town each morning gave the place a genuine local feel.

We stayed at Samaina Inn for a week with our children and used the tennis court most mornings before the beach got busy, the restaurant's varied menu meaning nobody in our group ran out of things to try. The evening entertainment gave the kids something to look forward to after dinner most nights of the stay. The old tannery quarter's converted buildings were worth the short walk even without a set plan. University students cycling through town each morning gave the place a genuine local feel.
