Situated on the south west coast of Kos, Kefalos is a purpose-built resort with a relaxed atmosphere. It is surrounded by spectacular scenery and sits beneath the old town of Kefalos, from which it takes its name. The resort has plenty of good restaurants and a couple of small nightclubs, but is mainly geared for tourists looking for a quiet holiday.
"..looking for a quiet holiday?"
The beach in Kefalos is a mix of sand and shingle and is ideal for lazy days in the sun. The sea is crystal clear and warm making it well suited for all the watersports that you find here. Kefalos is ideal for anyone seeking a relaxing holiday and therefore it may not be suitable for singles,older teenagers and those wishing to be out until the early hours!
Kefalos has the usual souvenir shops and supermarkets, but does not have large shopping facilities. However, for those wishing to do some major shopping can head to Kardamena or Kos Town, which both have fantastic shopping facilities, all offering very different goods, including; hand crafted jewellery and ceramics.
Kefalos is not as lively or as well known for its nightlife as other Greek resorts, but does have its own style of nightlife. It has a number of bars and clubs to suit everyone. Most of which are children friendly, therefore making it a good option for a family holiday. Most bars offer entertainment and food. There are several good restaurants serving both Greek and international cuisine.
Historical sites can be found scattered around the whole island, however most of which are found in the capital of Kos Town, which is approximately 90 minutes away from Kefalos. Boat tours can be found further afield with the tours heading into the volcanic island of Nisvros or to Rhodes; however the journey does take approximately 3 hours.
