About Sami, Kefalonia
Sami serves as major ferry port and tourist center on Kefalonia's east coast 29km from the airport, handling connections to Italy, Ithaca, and other islands while functioning as gateway to the famous Melissani Cave and Drogarati Cave creating that dual appeal combining practical port functions with natural wonder access. The town rebuilt after the 1953 earthquake lacks historical architecture but maintains authentic working character with ferry commerce, local businesses, and year-round population creating genuine Greek island town atmosphere. The waterfront concentrates hotels and restaurants serving ferry passengers and tourists exploring the spectacular caves.
Buses run every 1-2 hours covering the 29km in approximately 40 minutes, providing reasonable access to this east coast hub. The Melissani Cave (2km from Sami) features that extraordinary underground lake where collapsed roof creates open chamber allowing sunlight to illuminate turquoise waters creating magical atmosphere - boat trips operate continuously during summer season. The Drogarati Cave nearby showcases impressive stalactite formations in massive chamber with excellent acoustics occasionally hosting concerts. The town beaches provide convenient swimming access with organized sections offering basic facilities.
The ferry connections to Italy (Ancona, Bari) create international gateway function attracting travelers using Kefalonia as entry point to Greek islands, while Ithaca connections operate multiple times daily. Summer brings intense ferry passenger traffic creating busy port atmosphere, though the working town character persists year-round with local commerce continuing beyond tourist season. The combination of ferry gateway function, spectacular cave access, working town character, and central east coast position makes Sami essential for travelers prioritizing natural wonders and ferry connections - representing that functional hub where practical purposes and natural attractions create balanced appeal, serving both as necessary transit point and legitimate destination worthy of extended stays for cave exploration and ferry-based multi-island itineraries throughout the Ionian archipelago.
