Retreat location
In the amazing village of Kokkari on Samos island, there is an accommodation with a stunning view and a small bay to swim in, coming along with green-blue water full of life for snorkeling.
Sunrise Hotel Kokkari is a family business that has been operating since 1993. It is a seaside hotel in Kokkari, one of the most beautiful settlements on Samos Island. The location is in one of the most beautiful bays of the village, with the beach only 30 meters away.
Due to its location being on a bay, the nearby sea is always peaceful under any wind condition, making it perfect for uninterrupted swimming. This means that crystal clear waters are ready to give you a unique summer experience!
The hotel is located in a unique spot—without other buildings around it and without access to cars (the parking area is close to the center of Kokkari), giving you the opportunity to combine quiet, comfort, and relaxation despite being in a tourist area that is bustling with life.
Nevertheless, it is also just a five-minute walk from the restaurants, cafes, and bars of the settlement, and about eight minutes from the center of Kokkari. The surrounding area is full of tavernas, shops, and water sports such as windsurfing, parachuting, water skiing, and more.
Also nearby are traditional villages with fresh fish, sea view, and friendly staff. This accommodation on Samos is outstanding, especially outside the peak of touristic period.
