We had trouble finding the place as the instructions were from the Argostoli road ( there is more than one route!). It would be helpful to say that the entrance is on the Sami road, on the right, just as you leave Agia Efimia. There is a mirror opposite the drive and some trumpet flowers. The drive up is steep so take a good run at it! Parking is shaded - great in the heat! Kostas was helpful and showed us around the property. He had earlier contacted us by e- mail and given us his contact phone numbers.
We enjoyed our stay in this apartment and particularly liked the beautiful view from the terrace. The apartment is quite well equipped - we had issues with a broken corkscrew but Kostas replaced it on day two. A couple more saucepans and some wine glasses would be helpful - we bought a couple of glasses and left them in the apartment. We appreciated the mid week change of towels and sheets and the daily emptying of rubbish. The shower was great and hot water plentiful. The air con was efficient but some of the remotes need new batteries! The Internet worked well in the main lounge and terrace. We only used the TV once to watch BBC World.
The apartment suited us well as a base from which to explore the northern end of this lovely island. We had spent a week in the south before heading to Agia Efimia. We liked the town with its bustling but unspoilt atmosphere and traditional bakeries. From here we visited Fiscardo, Assos, Myrtos ( beautiful but dangerous for swimming), Sami and Antisamos beach, the cave at Melisanni and Poros. We also spent an enjoyable day on a boat trip to Ithaca. There are numerous small beaches along the road from Sami to Agia Efimia which are easily accessed by steps.
Overall, we would recommend this apartment for those wishing to explore the north of this beautiful island. Thanks to Kostas for an enjoyable stay.
