Neo Karlovasi · 整套民居 · 3室3床1.0卫 · 可住6人 · Potami river house, 2 minutes to the beach
If you are seeking peace and tranquility in natural surroundings close to the sea and mountains this lovely 3 bedroom villa with large garden in the beautiful area of Potami will provide the perfect haven for you. It is situated near the famous Potami waterfalls, the river runs past the edge of the garden down to the sea. Potami beach is a 2 minute walk and two of the islands most unspoiled beaches Mikro and Megalo Seitani are over an hours' hike away along an old coastal footpath. The lower level of this two-story country villa has a large living room, two double bedrooms, with dual aspect windows, a large kitchen, bathroom, as well as a terrace with seating area at the entrance. The upper level is accessed by a staircase in the kitchen leading to a mezzanine style third double bedroom with dual aspect windows and access onto a large balcony with breathtaking views over the river canyon, and the Genoan castle or Kastraki of Panagia Potamiou in the distance.
If you're looking for peace and quiet away from the more touristy spots then this place is great. House is really nice, private, three good size bedrooms. The bathroom is somewhat small, but this is compensated by the outside shower, which is lovely when you come back from a swim (beach is couple of minutes walk). Kitchen and living room are large, although we did not spend much time in them. There is a super terrace on the top floor, gets the first sun of the day, great place for breakfast. Potami itself is small - there are three restaurants (two of which close at about 1900) and a very funky, friendly cocktail bar which is open until late. There is no shop in Potami. I would strongly recommend a car, for doing the groceries and visiting the rest of the island. Karlavasi is a decent town a couple of km from Potami. 5 minute drive or 30 minute walk. There are many restaurants there, plus other amenities (supermarket, pharmacy etc). Host always responsive. We loved our stay
Το σπίτι είναι πανέμορφο, βγαλμένο λες από τη δεκαετία του 80 με την εγκυκλοπαίδεια Δομή στη βιβλιοθήκη, και το ωραίο πέτρινο πάτωμα στο σαλόνι. Κουζίνα οργανωμένη, με καφετιέρα και ηλεκτρικά μάτια, ψυγείο, πλυντήριο, σκεύη, πιάτα, ποτήρια κτλ. Ωραίος κήπος με καρποφόρα δέντρα. Έχει 3 κρεββατοκαμαρες, ένα μπάνιο αρκετά μικρό, και μια εξωτερική ντουζιέρα που βοηθαει την κατάσταση αν είστε πολλά άτομα. Για εμάς που είμασταν μόνο δυο ήταν μια χαρα. Το μόνο μικρό θέμα είναι τα κρεβάτια που όπως βλέπετε από τις φωτογραφίες είναι τα παλιά σιδερένια. Τα στρώματα είναι μια χαρά, και τα κρεβάτια δεν τρίζουν αλλά είναι διπλά όποτε αν είστε συνηθισμένοι σε φαρδιά κρεβάτια με άαααπλα θα έχετε ένα θεματάκι. Εμάς δεν μας δυσκόλεψε καθόλου αλλά νομίζω αξίζει να το αναφέρω. Κατά τα αλλά πραγματικά χαρήκαμε αυτό το σπίτι.. μου θύμισε διακοπες στο εξοχικό φίλων τελειώνοντας το λύκειο ένα πράγμα.. back to the future ας πουμε :-)
Another beautiful stay in the River house, this time with extended family, 5 of us. I highly recommend the location for summer or off season stays, as there are so many beautiful walks to do, as well as a stunning and very swimmable beach 3 minutes away on foot. The waterfalls directly behind the house included. While most people might use a car, we did not need one, walked to the pretty port, and used taxis for heavy shopping, which are easy to find and reasonably priced. As before, very quick responses from our host with any questions and when we had a problem with the internet it was quickly resolved and we had excellent coverage all over the house. Potami beach bar, just near the house has excellent reasonably priced food too, and the nearby Cafe Del Mundo is also a lovely place to take in the mountain view. Due to the large shady garden, however, the house feels very private. The house has all you need and the upstairs terrace is a great place to watch the night sky.
Heerlijke plek met veel privacy. Vanaf het huis prachtige wandelroutes van samos hikes. Vlakbij het mooie potamibeach, dichtbij de haven en op mooie afstand van het levendige Karlovassi.
We enjoyed this house so much! The location is perfect if you like nature and peace and quiet. The beach is around the corner and beautiful walks start in the backyard. Even though it was late season there were still a few catering establishments open within walking distance. But about 10 minutes away, there is also a good supermarket. So we also made our own food in the house. The house has everything you need for a nice stay. Especially the terrace upstairs is great to sit in the evening and watch the stars. The contact with Sarantos was very nice. He responded immediately to our questions. So for me this is definitely a place I want to come back to; I already miss it!
In the northwest of Samos, 6 km from the city of Karlovasi, you will find the Potami area one of the most beautiful and popular parts of the island.
Up a winding trail, the famous waterfalls of Potami pour into a narrow river canyon of outstanding natural beauty covered in a dense forest of trees, ferns and other plants. If you love nature and adventure, you will adore this place.
There is a signpost saying Potami waterfalls, follow the cement road, after 100m the road ends in front of the Byzantine church of Metamorfosis tou Sotiros (Transfiguration) (11th-14th century) the oldest in Samos.
There is a lovely trail alongside the river with little wood bridges crossing the river from one side to the other leading to a small lake. The foliage creates cool shaded areas to walk in and you may spot birds, lizards, dragonflies and butterflies in this beautiful natural haven.
Water shoes and swimming clothes are essential to wade or swim your way through the cold water which can reach over a metre, to the lower waterfall, as well as a waterproof bag for any valuables or camera. The braver few can climb up the rocks and walk a few hundred meters through the river to the upper levels of falls. The next few falls have rope aids to help your ascent.
Alternatively you can bypass the rock/rope climbing and take the challenging climb not for the faint hearted up the steep rickety twisting wooden staircase to the upper falls where you will find a rustic hillside taverna Archontissa where you can relax, admire the breathtaking views and enjoy a very well deserved cool drink and bite to eat.
The hike down the falls is moderately challenging, like canyoning at points, you need to climb down wet rocks, with a rope and jump.
After your waterfall adventure you can make your way back to relax on the pebble beach of Potami for a few hours on free sunbeds if you purchase food/drinks from Potami or Hippy’s beach bars or enjoy the relaxed ambience and comfortable surroundings of Café Del Mundo. All are wonderful spots to enjoy watching the sunset.
Ideally you will need a car to get around Samos.
There are many good walking trails in the area and information of these can be provided to guests on their arrival.
