Arion Hotel in Kokkari, Samos

The hotel is named after Arion, the famous poet and composer who lived in Samos from 625 to 585 BC. Mythology relates that once while he was travelling by sea, pirates stormed the boat and threatened to kill him. Arion requested that he be allowed to sing one last song. The wish granted, he sang with such feeling that a flock of dolphins gathered round the boat and when he was thrown overboard, one of them carried him on its back safely to the shore. The four star Arion Hotel is located on the north coast of Samos Island, near the village of Kokkari, 10 km from Samos town and 25 km from the airport. It is only 600 meters from two of the island's most stunning beaches, Lemonakia and Tsamadou, whose wonderful sparkling waters are perfect for all kinds of sports. Since the hotel is set in a magic landscape of captivating natural beauty far from any kind of disturbance, the Arion Hotel is the ideal place for people whose dream is a relaxing holiday. The hotel consists of 108 rooms, divided between the main building and a bungalow complex. Their large verandas overlook the deep blue Aegean Sea and the lush green surroundings. The hotel restaurant specializes in Greek cuisine but offers international dishes daily, while once a week in June, July and August, our Greek evenings with a sumptuous buffet, Greek music and folk dancing are always a popular event.
