It is so easy to be influenced by others reviewing a hotel, so we were apprehensive about what we would find on our arrival. We were not disappointed. We found the hotel to be everything we hoped for (and more).Our first impressions were excellent – it is immaculate; and the views from its hillside location are superb. The room had... more

The Kalidon Panorama (Palace) is situated on the hillside overlooking Kokkari, about 1 mile (30 minutes) walk from the harbour. First of all, the hotel is not fantastic, and quite expensive for what it is, but the village of Kokkari is beautiful and definitely worth exploring. The hotel is half board and consists of a small buffet breakfast with an... more

First visit to Samos, but not our last. Have to agree with other views on this hotel. Fantastic location, very basic rooms, but spotlessly clean. Staff very welcoming and friendly. Would prefer to be able to book B&B basis only as the breakfast was OK but the dinner left a lot to be desired, hence the reason we ate out... more

We returned to The Kalidon Palace after an absence of five years to find not only its name has changed to The Kalidon Panorama but the guest base is now at least eighty per cent Thomson/TUI.

One annoying factor is that this... more

My wife and I stayed at the Kalidon for two weeks in June 2008. We had a room with a view of the ocean, which was just amazing. Every morning we would see the sun rising over the coast of Turkey. The room was small but very cozy, with everything we could really ask for. The hotel itself is very... more

We stayed at Kalidon Palace for 5 nights with our two children and loved it. This place is awesome. The staff are wonderful and the facility is beautiful with stunning views. I'd give this place a 5, but the rooms are surprisingly basic given how luxurious the overall complex is. We will definitely stay here again. more

Spent a very happy two weeks at this hotel in August 2007. This was our second time there and we enjoyed our stay just as much as in 2006. The hotel is perfectly situated on the hillside above Kokkari town and affords a panoramic view of the sea from the pool and the dining room. A regular free hotel shuttle... more
