Νiriides Apartments & Rooms Assos Kefalonia — Hotel in Sami Municipality

The host are friendly, however there are a few points that deserve to be mentioned: 1) assos is a small village that should be visited but after staying there 3 nights not sure its optimal staying there...see no 2. 2) assos is located 15 min from the main road which requires several zigzags (six zigzags) ... Not super practical when you want to visit other towns and beaches such as Myrtos and that you are staying several days 3) the room offers a nice view on assos 4) the shower and sink are salted water (not fun) 5)the studios are located on the most tiny road right off a cliff and there is No parking, ever, so you must park on the side of the road/cliff. Then to go back, you have to turn the car around that tiny litle road on the side of the cliff. Again not cool. 6)on both side of the bed there are lamps, to open and close these lamps well you have to get out of bed and step... Oh well. 7) no charger next to the bed (I can deal with that).

With all the driving in and out of assos we enjoyed the beatitful views and again this city...

In a world where places are merely temporary, where we drift from one to the next, this was a refuge.

Nikos, our host, greeted us with warmth, a rare moment of human connection in the vast indifference of travel. The apartment, simple yet perfect, offered rest after long days wandering Asos, its view a quiet reminder that beauty still exists. The walk into town, though requiring effort, felt like a fair exchange for such a panorama.

Asos itself; small, sun-drenched, unreal in its perfection, became a place we didn’t just visit but inhabited, however briefly. Three Cheeky Monkeys fed us with towering gyros, sweet loukoumades, indulgence without regret. At Three Wise Monkeys, cocktails and conversation flowed, a reminder that even in fleeting moments, pleasure can be real.

One morning, we climbed to the castle. The town stretched below us, silent, waiting. From that vantage point, the absurdity of time and movement dissolved.

For a few days, we belonged. And then, like all things, we left. But this place, this moment, remains....

We went there for two 3 days. ||||Positive sides are: good price and friendly owner. |||| The view is good but I think that Assos is cozy and the view amazing also from the port so it does not make sense to be on a uphill place that requires 10 minutes of stairs either during the day when is hot or after dinner. ||||We tried two rooms in the upper floor, both very small without space for the luggage, the second one (room 1) with limited view. ||||Also small missing things makes the traveler's experience poor: 1) the hanger for the shower was broken in one room and placed too high - so not useful- in the other, 2) there is only a small bin in the toilet that get filled immediately, 3) no coffee or tea available in the room (only place in Greece where I did not find it), 4) A/C in such a small room can be turned on only with window closed, which makes the room very cold overnight despite all the attempts to regulate the temperature. ||||So in summary I think is OK but you may find much better in Assos for...
