Kalidon Panorama

We spent a wonderful week on the island of Samos with our parents, staying at the Kalidon Panorama Hotel. The hotel is intimate, peaceful and very well maintained. Our room was clean and cosy, and although the breakfast selection was modest, everything was very tasty. The magnificent view — the panorama that gives the hotel its name — made our stay truly special and provided us with unforgettable moments. The wonderful staff deserve a special mention. The lovely ladies at reception welcomed us every day with a smile, helpful advice and genuine kindness — thank you! We would also like to mention the hotel shuttle bus driver, who was always very kind, helpful and happy to assist us. The breakfast and bar staff were equally professional and efficient, always making sure that we had the best possible experience and comfort during our stay. A special thank you also goes to the wonderfully friendly host and owner, who was present among the guests every day and made us feel very welcome. ευχαριστώ! If you are looking for peace, relaxation and a wonderful holiday close to the picturesque village of Kokkari, we can highly recommend Kalidon Panorama. Ania, Marek, Alicja, Ryszard, Ewa & Stanisław

Stunning views! Comfortable and friendly. Rooms chic (although no full length mirror or tea/coffe making facilities). Comfy bed and and pillows. Room shower. Fabulous breakfast.

If there is a word to describe this hotel it is perfection. The rooms are beautifully decorated and the cleanliness is of the highest order. The breakfast room is of the same high standard and the view from there is straight out of a travel brochure. The whole staff from the cleaners to reception are friendly and courteous. Special mention to Dimetrias behind the bar who is affable and just a decent bloke. Star of the show,the pool with a view of Kokkari and mainland Turkey that is to die for. Unfortunately for less mobile visitors the hotel is up a very steep hill but local taxis are cheap and plentiful. The village of Kokkari itself is a quintessentially picture perfect Greek setting with tavernas that offer inexpensive food of a very high standard. Kokkari is not a party village but one of laid back charm and relaxation. Altogether if you want a perfect Greek holiday then come to this hotel and Kokkari.

I have to say we were absolutely delighted with this hotel. Situated in a beautiful place with stunning views over Kokkari bay and the lovely Lemonakia beach. The staff were wonderful and couldn’t do enough to make our stay so special, Maria and the team were so friendly and welcoming and a special mention to Dimitris the bar manager who has become a firm friend. Rooms were of a high standard, more than you would expect in Greece and cleaned every day by the hardworking cleaners. Lovely swimming pool and great breakfasts with a good choice of food to suit all tastes. The hotel is relatively small, which suited us as you have the chance to get to know other guests if you wish and it gives a homely feel. Going back next year and can’t wait.

We’ve just returned from a weeks holiday at the Kalidon Panorama. The hotel is very stylish and the rooms are modern and spacious. Most people hired cars to explore the island so the pool was always lovely and quiet, so if you’re looking for a relaxing quiet holiday then this is the place for you. It’s a 20min walk into town where you’ll find lots of lovely restaurants along the beach and bay and plenty of shops to mooch around. There’s plenty of Taxi’s about for the €5 ride back up to the hotel. The hotel has a shuttle bus that runs every couple of hours and drops of at a couple of beaches and into town. The nearest beach is Lemonakia which is pebbly so beach shoes are a must. The sea is crystal clear and warm. Now for the staff - they are all amazing! The two Maria’s on reception are so friendly and helpful. The lady behind the bar ( sorry can’t remember her name) is s delight. And the maids keep the rooms spotlessly clean every day. The towels are fresh every day and they even give you towels for the pool and beach.
