Samaina Inn sits on the tranquil seafront of Karlovasi, Samos’ second-largest town, known for its neoclassical mansions, traditional churches and mountain backdrop. Step across the road to Samian Mare Beach for a refreshing dip, or wander along the waterfront to the harbour with its small selection of cafés, tavernas and bars.

Karlovasi is a great springboard for exploring Samos: drive around 45 minutes to Samos Town, join boat trips to hidden coves, or head into the hills for hiking, waterfalls and vineyard visits – including tastings of the island’s celebrated Muscat wines.

The main buffet restaurant at Samaina Inn keeps things relaxed and family-friendly, serving international and Greek favourites at breakfast, lunch and dinner, often with show-cooking stations. You can dine by the poolside, with highchairs available for younger guests.

Drinks and downtime are covered by a lobby bar and pool bar, both pouring local wine, beer, spirits, cocktails, soft drinks and hot drinks as part of the All Inclusive until late evening. Expect a smart-casual dress code – swimwear is fine by the pool but not at mealtimes.

All Inclusive typically includes buffet-style main meals, a short daily snack period and a selection of local drinks until 23:00, though specifics can change by season and hotel policy. What All Inclusive typically includes.

Outdoors, a spacious freshwater pool takes centre stage, framed by sunbeds and parasols and backed by greenery. A dedicated children’s section keeps little swimmers close by, while free pool towels save space in your suitcase. Inflatables are permitted, adding to the fun, and baby-changing facilities are on hand.

When you’re ready for the sea, simply cross the road to reach Samian Mare Beach – a laid-back stretch of Samos coastline where you can swim, stroll or sit back with a drink from nearby bars and beach venues.

Stay active in the well-equipped, air-conditioned gym, open long hours and fitted with cardio machines and free weights (minimum age 18). Outdoors, there’s plenty of choice: basketball, tennis, volleyball, table tennis, pilates and yoga sessions offer variety through the day, with local cycling facilities available for those who want to explore on two wheels (extra charges may apply).

Regular evening entertainment runs from May through October, typically including live music and low-key shows – think more convivial atmosphere than full-on resort disco.
