So friendly
The apartments were spotless, the hospitality was out of this world. Nothing was too much trouble, we went in a large group and this was not a problem. Despina sorted out the transfers, lovely air conditioned mini bus. The location is great.

Fantastic Guesthouse
Excellent apartment in a lovely guesthouse with owners who couldn't do enough for you. Despina and Manolis made our stay in Kefalonia special and I would wholeheartedly recommend their guesthouse. Sami is only a twenty minute walk along a beautiful promenade and the stunning Melissani caves are also a short walk away. Stay at the Kalypso if you get the opportunity!

A great week in Karavomilos
We had a wonderful stay at Kalypso apts, Karavomilos, Sami and really recommend these family-run studio/apartments for value for money, comfort and cleanliness and location. Our apartment was very clean and comfortable. Facilities included great high-speed wifi, hairdryer, AC , TV, fridge and basic cooking equipment as well as a small pool and nice surrounding outdoor area. We had a lovely little terrace where we enjoyed our breakfasts, made even nicer by the fresh bread and croissants bought from the bakery next door. Despina and Manolis made us feel very welcome and provided lots of good advice about places to visit around Sami and further afield. Kalypso apts is well located for exploring the island, particularly the south, east and northern areas. It is possible to walk into Sami in about 1/2 hour where there are tavernas, bars, shops, ATMs etc. but as we had a car we could get to Argostoli, Antisamos, Skala, Fiskardo and the wonderful Myrtos beach really easily. We learned that some of their customers have been visiting regularly for the last 15 years - a major sign of satisfaction! We will definitely visit again if we go back to Kefalonia.

Visiting Sami? You HAVE to stay here!
Even before we arrived, Despina was helping us with advice on taxis (expect to pay E50 from the airport to Sami - this is a fair price). She can also recommend car hire, which may work out cheaper than if you try to arrange this on your own. There is a bus service, but their frequency may not suit your plans so check. As soon as we arrived, Despina was very welcoming and offered us a drink in the shade. She then showed us to our nice, cool room and left us to settle in. She knows the area very well, of course, and can make all sorts of recommendations for you. The accommodation is very clean, with wifi, air-con and TV, and a kitchenette area. The garden, which I loved, has a spa pool, loungers and umbrellas for shade. They have play things for children too, if you require. You will also notice swallows, butterflies and bright flowers everywhere. A bakery next door sells delicious breads, cakes, honey, eggs and ice cream, plus two nearby mini-markets sell other basic provisions you may need. We recommend this place very highly if you are staying in Sami, for either a short or long stay.

Wonderful place, Wonderful people, 5 stars!!!!
Kalypso Studios is much more than just a place a stay. Despina will take great pleasure in helping you book and organize your trip. She told us where to go, where to eat (we are foodies, and two restaurants she mentioned, we fell in love with, and what do to do). If we had a question, she had an answer. She booked us our car rental for a 1/3 of what other companies could do. We really enjoyed our mornings, where Despina graciously offered us coffee and we talked, laughed, and enjoyed the layback attitude that is Kefalonia. Now, about the rooms. We had a wonderful room with everything we needed. A small fridge and working burners so that we could eat breakfast in our room and store water. The rooms were clean and very nice! You are at a walking distance from Sami and right next door to bakery. This was my first time in Greece, and what is clear from this trip is that the greeks are the most generous, hospitable, and honest people i have ever met. And the crown to these values really go to Despina and Manolis. A wonderful couple who take pride and put their hearts into running a beautiful guest house. They have a beautiful family. So if you want a real experience as well as advice as to what to do, this is the place to be!

Perfect Place with Best Hosts
Kalypso is definitely the right place to stay when you are in Kefalonia, not only because it is within walking distance to Melissani cave, close driving distance to Drogarati cave, and available bus service to Fiscardo, it is also because of the hospitality and good sense of humour from the hosts, Despina and Manolis, which makes the entire stay memorable and enjoyable. They helped us a lot with renting a car, offering to lend us their bicycles, finding the bus to Fiscardo, introducing places to visit, and of course searching for kourabiedes in September (; Our unit is also clean and spacious, with a balcony overlooking their pool. Despina and Manolis are usually around the ground floor and ready to share their knowledge of the island to facilitate your travel plans. Their Greek coffee is also highly recommended as I have at least 1 every morning. My friend and I enjoyed our stay there very much and we both agree when we visit Kefalonia again, we will stay at Kalpyso (:
