Anthemis

Positives: We had a lovely time here, the staff, cleanliness and apartment all where to a very high standard. A short walk (downhill) to Samos town takes 15-20 minutes which is typically Greek, no loud night clubs or late opening bars, which was refreshing to see. We dined at a few restaurants, Welcome Taverna very good, but can get busy later on in the evening, best to eat there quite early. Al Forno Pizza/Pasta on the main square made the best Pizza's, there is a old school hole in the wall Gyros place on the square to, which the locals use, we tried the best gyros/pitta ever, our bill came to 17 Euros :). Zen on the Seafront is also very good, Moita on the way into Samos town was amazing. On the whole you will not hungry here, I digress, back to the Anthemis, the pool as mentioned on previous reviews does not open till 10am, and the sunbeds are quite limited on a busy day, so if you intend to spend a day poolside, you need to get there early to bag a couple of sunbeds which had a canopy . There were a few who put towels on beds and strolled off, so I took the towels off after a couple of hours, that kind of behaviour is just a selfish act but unfortunately some people are I guess .. So on the whole we had a lovely time, we were allocated room 39 at the very top, 121 steps to get there as there is no lift, however, the views and sunset were priceless and worth the hike up, and it burnt off the Feta, rooms were clean and modern, and we had the best night sleep, so peaceful. Negative: Only thing I can honestly say is, if you have mobility issues you would struggle here due to the steps to each apartment, plus I believe the Bar area should stay open into the evening for people to stop for a pre/post meal drink, it is a nice area that could really pay off as there aren't any bars/watering holes on the way down to samos town to stop off at, and maybe the pool could open earlier for those who like an early morning swim, would we return .. Yes we would but request a lower level apartment.

We loved our stay at the Anthemis hotel apartments. We had a fantastic room with lovely balcony and great views. The apartment was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. Bed was very comfortable and sheets and towels changed on a regular basis. Lovely big bathroom with some toiletries provided, shower gel, shampoo etc. Good strong shower. The breakfast was very good and had all we wanted. The staff were all excellent, nothing too much trouble and everyone friendly and helpful which made our stay even better. The location was very good only a short walk into Samos town. Samos island is very beautiful, we did hire a bike to get around which for us was ideal or you can hire a car. This is our third visit to Samos our last visit approx 11 years ago. We will go back and would not hesitate to stay at the Anthemis again. Thank you all for making our holiday a great one.

We spent a week in June/July 2026 at the hotel Anthemis. It was a great pleasure! Super nice apartment with huge balcony with sea view. The apartment was in really nice condition and the cleaning was impeccable. All staff at the hotel were nice and welcoming. Breakfast was welcoming and varied. The only small minus was the juice, which was orange juice and not juice, as we know it from Denmark. No noise from the surroundings - neither day nor night. Nice stone beach map from the hotel with the clearest bathing water. Nice pool area with a pool bar with small but fine selection of light dishes and all types of drinks. More good restaurants in Samos city, which is less "tourist" than a few other cities on the island, which we visited during the week. Can definitely recommend the hotel!
