We stayed at the Mykali in June ,A lovely postion and view and very clean. We were half board but we only ate in hotel two nights out seven ,it was a set meal so if you did not like the meal you were a bit twix between ,meals we had were very much same same sliced potatoes with meat on top the food was not very Greek. We had breakfast most mornings ok eggs;ham,cheese,cerials,fresh fruit. The walk from the hotel was 25 to 30 mins into town ok nice but a busy walk on the main road ok if you are good on your legs. the nearest beach was a walk down a steep hill a car or scooter would be favoured, car hire quit cheep a scooter 8 euro for the day next to the hotel. The airport was very close I would not pay for transferes its cheaper by taxi. The staff at the hotel were not over friendly they didn't encourage us to stay at the bar on a nightime we felt we needed to go into town for entertainment and a decent meal,where there was plenty to choose from. The hotel has a beautiful veiw but has no shops nearby, you need to go to town.There is a good bus service to Samos Town from outside the hotel. A boat trip to Turkey takes about hour and half you can book it in town. A great day out. Our veiw on this holiday was that we had a very relaxing week well worth the trip and we would go back to Samos. Pythagogion is lovely place but if we stayed at Mykali again we would hire a car from airport, this would make a very big difference and wouldn,t feel so cut off.

hi just returned we stayed in the mykalia hotel pythagorio, it was about 20 -25 mins walk into center no shops or tavernas on way so no were to rest your poor weary legs! the hotel had a lovely large pool, the staff were ok not that friendly not many english go there.food was very poor , limited snacks during day and you had that long walk into town if you wanted a nice evening meal. it was very clean and the views were beautiful but i wouldnt recomend if you have difficulty in walking. they do run a free bus but that too was at silly tmes, the rooms were very clean and the hotel itself lacked any atmosphere it was a shame as it was a lovely place to stay
