Kefalos
Below the original old town of Kefalos on the south-west coast of the Greek island of Kos, a modern resort has been built in traditional style as a holiday haven, the hotels fronting a sandy beach. The setting makes this one of Greece’s most scenic resorts, offering views over the bay to the islet ofmore

Kefalos - Very relaxing! - Karen T. Date of travel: Mar 2008
Good points about Kefalos - Always a breeze so it feels 5 degrees cooler than it is (wear suntan oil!) Riverside Snack bar - Fab cocktails at a great price, friendly staff, best brekkie ever and doesn't seem to close til people go home. Never had a bad meal in Kefalos. Laid back. Bad points - Trust car hire - The owner (Yanni) seemed to fight every day and while the prices looked cheap nearly everyone I talked to got charged extra when they took their car back.
What a beautiful, friendly place - Pip Jarvis. Date of travel: Sep 2007
What a beautiful, friendly place
Popeye's Bar is excellent, everyone there is so friendly. There are so many great places to eat, but I would recommend the Great Aussie BBQ for quality steaks. Rainbow for perfect Greek hospitality. Another great place to go is Players Lounge, quality cocktails and great music. Sydney Bar has to be the place for live entertainment, they also do great food. I recommend a trip to Paradise Beach/Bubble Beach its only €5 for a return boat ride and the water sports are just quality. The Fly Fish is a cracker of a ride, beats Ringos any day. All in all a great place to go for a nice break, I will be going back!
Wonderful location - Julie Keen. Date of travel: Sep 2007
Kefalos was better then we expected for a two week break. We stayed in apartments overlooking the harbour and often strolled along the harbour in the evening after a meal in one of the many restaurants. Fresh fish and traditional meals were available everywhere along side dishes catering for more UK tastes. We frequented many restaurants and bars and enjoyed Santa Barbara for food and Marias bar for drinks and a 'catch up' on UK football results. The beauty of popping into different bars or restaurants was being made to feel welcome and as you walked past on different nights you would get a freindly wave and greeting from the staff. This is so different to being harassed by the PR people in some of the busier resorts, ie Kardamena. We hired a car through 'Trust' but I do not think we got a fair rate, we booked for 10 days on the 31st August. If we had booked on the 1st September the rate dropped dramatically, we only realised this when we went to extend the hire. At the time of extending the hire, the assistant said she would see if she could get a reducation and left a ? for the price to pay. Considering their motto is 'the more you book, the more you save' we were charged full price for additional days. We considered using another car hire company, but we were told we would lose our deposit, so I would NOT recommend Trust cars. Kefalos is only about 40 mins by car to the furthest destination on Kos, but there are so many wonderful beaches near by which are only about 5 mins in the car and are so clean with clear sea and comfy sunbeds at a small price. There is also a beach at the harbour if you do not want to drive.
Can't wait to go back - Donna & Colin. Date of travel: Sep 2007
This is the 3rd time in 7 yrs that we have been to Kefalos and I can't wait to go back. The people are so laid back and the pace of life virtually stops! Maria's bar is great and we always go back there even after trying more of the bars, Manos who runs it is always there with a smile and tries to teach you to speak a little bit of Greek (great fun). The food at almost all of the restaurants is great, and The Santa Barbara especially so. We have only been back 2 days and are looking at prices to book up for next year. FANTASTIC!!!
Kefalos is PARADISE - Mr and Mrs McGill. Date of travel: Sep 2007
Absolutely LOVE Kefalos, the people are so so friendly, especially Stevie from Tiras Supermarket next door to Bar Sydney, he is such a lovely caring man. It was our 2nd year in Kefalos and we had a great time apart from our accommodation, which we also stayed at last year, only wish now we had booked the Christina Apartments as they were FAB! Absolutely immaculate and very spacious, with air conditioning, fridge/freezer, cooking rings, kettle, and a massive balcony with a lovely table and chairs, so that will be our new accommodation when we go back to Kefalos. And she only charges €20 per day (per apartment) in September. Prices vary at certain times of the year. We ate in loads of restaurants, loved Harry's, the Stop Inn, Kampos, Scorpios, Golden Fleece, they were all fab. Hated Santa Barbara staff as one guy was very unfriendly and there was no friendly atmosphere at all. We went into Kos town twiced and went to Mastihari and Kardamena for the day, all were lovely. We will definitely be going back to Kefalos in the future.
Second time was even better! - Lisa & Huw. Date of travel: Sep 2007
Second time was even better!
On return to this resort we were surprised at how many people remembered us! From the lady who owned the studios to the bar staff in the tavernas! We were suprised to read some of the bad reviews of the Santa Barbara as the owner Prodomos always made an extra special effort to make us feel welcome! Infact it was my husband's birthday and he had even had a birthday cake delivered from the local bakery with his name on! As for the rest of the staff, they always made an effort to speak in English and were always happy to stop and chat! Captain Johns is a great place to catch breakfast with its fantastic setting (on the beach), service and standard of food. The Gilini taverna which is set on a side road near the Kamari Bay hotel is a great place to eat too! The owner George speaks excellent english and his wife cooks excellent Greek cusine! In a nutshell, Kefalos is ideal for families and couples alike and although has its tourist traits, it still maintains a little of "real Greece" We hired a car from Trust Rentals, ask for Yani who speaks excellent English and who will do his best to give you a good deal. A visit to Kefalos village is a must... most of the people who work in the resort live there and it is a charming town/village which used to be the capital of Kos! We also went to the Ploka forest to feed the wild peacocks, and although Kefalos has a great beach, we visted 2 or 3 on the coast which were sandy and one was even nudist!!!! Thank you Kefalos for a great time... look forward to seeing you soon!

The sunrise in Kefalos is an absolute must!
Brilliant Kefalos - Tim, Tracy, Timothy & Shanice. Date of travel: Sep 2007
Brilliant Kefalos
Kefalos is full of very friendly people, great restaurants. Ones to use, The Four Seasons, Kastris, Sebastians in the harbour & Scorpios. Best bar was The Dolphin. Great music, friendly owner Manolis and a good atmosphere. Great beach ,warm clean sea. Also tea for two for breakfast.
Kefalos the place to go - Jones. Date of travel: Aug 2007
If you want a quiet holiday then Kefalos is the place. No good for party animals. The people throughout Kos are very nice, friendly and kind but, and it's a big but, if you are animal lover then I would have to say, out of all the destinations I have been to the Greeks are the worse for being cruel to animals. Cats are vermin to them and dogs, well I really don't know why half of them bother to have them. They tie them up away from the house and there they can stay for days without any contact. Every year I have been (4yrs) there is always 2 or more strays in Kefalos. They round the strays up once before the season and again after where they are poisoned and some of these dogs are pedigrees. They don't have an ounce of compassion for animals. Apart from that Greece has to be my favourite place. Only wish they could change their views on these poor animals and Greece would be perfect.
Kefalos - Johnathan and Vanessa. Date of travel: Aug 2007
We went to Kefalos for our first holiday together and it was so romantic - the apartments Jacks were basic but lovely and Jack and Maria and their sons were so friendly and helpful. We ate at Captain Johns, Great Aussie BBQ, Santa Barba (I think that's what it was called - it's along by the harbour!) Popeye's is great and also the bar next to the Aussie BBQ - she's very friendly in there. The holday was perfect and we will definitely return.
Wicked - Mike. Date of travel: Aug 2007
Everything is about choice,the only advice I would give is make sure you are fully insured if you hire a quad/motor bike as there will be problems if have have a bump!! Ritas car hire are on the sea front and she has full English insurance and she is very good.
We loved Kef - Terry & Kit. Date of travel: Aug 2007
Paradise beach was good. see the bubbles rise from the seabed. Lovely crystal clear water.
Lovely - J & P Craig. Date of travel: Aug 2007
Enjoyed Kefalos very much. Everyone is very friendly, the beach is ok with plenty of cheap sun beds and never too crowded. Enjoyed eating at Hubs and the Aussie BBQ but never had a bad meal anywhere.
Loved our stay in Kefalos - Jag & Mel. Date of travel: Jul 2007
Kefalos is a lovely spot on Kos island. Kefalos village is about a kilometer away from the sea-front and is located on a big hill. A bus service runs regularly to it if you don't fancy the walk during the day time. We enjoyed food at a number of places, like Harry's, Rainbow, Captain John, Maria's, Sabastians. We enjoyed the cocktails at Bar 52 and the live music a Sydney's Bard only a couple of doors away. The sea is very blue and very clear at Kefalos. We spent a lot of the time snorkelling and just basically wallowing. As the temperatures rose so the sea became warmer. When we first got there the water felt very cold when you first got in but once in, you get used to it very quickly. There are lots of Water sport activities available at Kefalos from wind surfing to Water Skiing. The locals are very friendly and I would go there again given the chance. A great chilled two weeks away. :-)
Great relaxed resort, very friendly locals - David & Angela Stephenson. Date of travel: Jul 2007
Great relaxed resort, very friendly locals
Kefalos is a relaxed pretty resort ideally suitable for couples and families - not suitable for persons wanting a lively atmosphere. Resort consists of a pleasant main road (1 km in length) and leads on to a lovely harbour promenade (1/2 km) both with bars and restaurants. Harbour road with more condensed bars and restaurants i.e. livelier although still relaxed. Main road has numerous bars and restaurants, which are more spaced out, but still within easy walking distance. However, quad-bike, scooter, etc recommended for the less mobile. Total length of resort approx 2 kms. Beach area consists of a 2 km stretch of sand and shingle stretching the entire length of the horse-shoe shaped bay. Numerous choices of where you can choose your sun lounger (€5 for two and a parasol), ranging from the very pretty harbour area with small fishing boats bobbing about to the beach area directly opposite the lovely Kastri island. Numerous beach side eateries to grab a spot of lunch. Water very pleasant and clear. Resort amenities - Relaxed bars with music and one lively entertainment bar with UK comedy acts. Two nightclubs. Lots of restaurants, however, many with the same international menu. The locals - we heard about the friendliness of the Kefalos people before we went. It was all true. They were all very friendly and prepared to have a chat with you, very unlike Spain!! Friendliness of locals helps to make you feel appreciated as a tourist. Recommendations - Manos 24 hour food outlet on main road, which serves gorgeous chicken wraps (gyros - highly recommended at €1.80). Katherina's quad-bike and scooter hire on main road. Excellent friendly service from the Greek/Australian owner (Kathy) charges for one day approx €15 with insurance. Very well looked after. Hotel Ionikos have sun loungers next to Club Med boats (end of main road near Club Med and opposite Kastri island). Free use of pool and facilities. Very well looked after by owner Chrissy (Greek/American) and her family. Hospitality 10/10.
Loved Kefalos - Rosemary and Nicola. Date of travel: Jul 2007
Kefalos is very laid back and friendly. There are plenty of good places to eat especially Rainbows, Sebastiens and Argo. Lots of lovely little gift shops which are also very reasonably priced. The beach is sand and shingle with larger rocks and pebbles in the water. Watersports are excellent. We would highly recommend Kefalos.
I love Antonio's - Sarah Rowe. Date of travel: Jul 2007
I have been to Kos - Kefalos for the past 8 years and found it to be a fabulous place. The locals are very friendly, the scenery beautiful and the food fantastic. I have dined at many places on the island but found that Antonio’s Taverna the best place, situated on the beach behind Sacallis Inn Hotel Kefalos. Good selection of both English and Greek food, cooked by the owner and his wife. The food is always fresh and good value for money with only quality ingredients are used. The restaurant is clean and has friendly staff to attend to your every need. Fantastic deals are on every night including BBQ night with free wine, 2 for 1 on cocktails and a specials board with food not in the main menu. I have NEVER EVER sufferd from "holiday tummy" while I have been eating at Antonio's Taverna. A big must for anyone staying in Kefalos!
Fantastic Kefalos - Peter and Carol Close. Date of travel: Jul 2007
Fantastic Kefalos
Kefalos is a fantastic smallish resort on the Island of Kos. The resort is really in two halves. The old village of Kefalos is on the hills overlooking stunning Kamari bay and the small island of Kastri. The hotels, studios, bars and restaurants are spread out a few metres from the main road which runs next to the sea between the small harbour and ancient ruins of the monastery which overlook Kastri itself. It is really hard to fault anything about the Kefalos as a holiday resort. Someone looking for the lively bars and nightclubs of Spain or Ibiza would be disappointed. Kefalos is all about relaxation, good food, water sports, talking with the friendly people and basically chillin` out! The snorkelling is good with a small safe beach from which to launch your underwater adventures in between popping over the road for a lovely fresh Greek salad and a cool drink. We can honestly say that we have never had a poor meal in any of the restaurants. Our favourite places to eat are Sebastians, Argo, and Captain Johns. Some good excursions can be booked from Asklipios tours near the harbour. I can recommend the trip to Nyssyros. The capital (Mandraki) is a tradional Greek town with tiny roads and fantastic and dramatic scenery around every corner. I thought very hard about writing this review. I feel quite selfish about trying to keep Kefalos a secret. I would hate for it to be spoiled in the same way as some of the other resorts have been.
I loved Kefalos - Chris, Annette & Andrew. Date of travel: Jul 2007
Kefalos is a beautiful resort set at the very base of the island. There are plenty of bars and tavernas and the occasional night club, I would recommend this thoroughly for families and couples but if you're looking for something very lively head for Kardamena. In Kefalos try the Oppa Oppa bar, it serves fantastic cocktails and is right overlooking the ocean offering a very relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Also try the Wave for an evening meal although there are many tavernas all worth mentioning. Kos is beautiful island and if you are thinking of hiring a car it is very easy to navigate this island so give it a try. If you're looking for a fun day out go to the water park at matichari, brilliant for kids and adults of all ages.
Kefalos is in my opinion the only place to be - Chris and Lise. Date of travel: Jul 2007
Kefalos is in my opinion the only place to be
We have been to Kefalos for 3 years running and we love it so much that we are getting married there next year and one day would love to live there. Everyone is so friendly and we feel like we're going home every time we step off the plane. All the restaurants in the resort are excellent and to mention just a few in particular, The Wave, Sebastians, Maria's. About Kefalos, there are so many things to see and do, we always find new things every time. There is no better place on earth!!
Great little Village - Humphery. Date of travel: Jul 2007
Kefalos is great out of season and I think it would be good at high seasons as well.
Kefalos is a great little town - Steve and Maggie Quirot. Date of travel: Jun 2007
The bars and restaurants are great and the staff are very friendly, Popeyes bar is great!
We Love Kefalos - Jacki & Nick Hall. Date of travel: Jun 2007
after 25 visits....Our favourite bar is Melody bar, the boys are lovely and give you a warm welcome. Our favourite taverna is Paradise Gourment, but we also like Kampos, Rainbow, Captain John's, Stop Inn, Kastri...actually all of them except Santa Barbara.... Our favorite beach is Markos beach... Our favourite car hire is Kefalos Tours. Our favourite excursions place is Kefalos tours. Our favourite Kefalos website is kefalos.me.uk.
Dirty beach - John and Jade. Date of travel: Jun 2007
We did have misgivings about Kefalos. The beach was very dirty and it shelved sharply into the sea. The resort reminded us of a rundown cowboy town. On the plus side there was an excellent choice of good to excellent tavernas. Car hire is certainly required if you holiday here.
Reminded me of a cowboy town. - John and jenny. Date of travel: Jun 2007
The beach in Kefalos was dirty and it shelved steeply into the sea and overall this aspect was disappointment. There is an excellent array of tavernas in Kefalos and the food is reasonably priced > our favourites were Rainbow and Argos.
We love Kefalos - Mike and Christine Laver. Date of travel: Jun 2007
Kefalos is totally laid back in the best possible way! The welcome from the locals feels genuine and it has many bars and restaurants and a long, mostly shingle, beach that is never busy, but is a centre for watersports. Some may find the village slightly scruffy in parts as it has some unfinished buildings by the beach but we see that as part of its charm. We have been going to Kefalos for 10 years and little has changed in that time.
Kefalos is home to us - Margaret & Richard. Date of travel: May 2007
We have been going to Kefalos for the past 5 years and would not go anywhere else. We were married in Kefalos in June 2005 it was a great day, the restaurants and bars are great, we eat at the Aussie Barbeque and Rainbow, and usually go to Popeye's bar, you also have Players bar which is also good especially if you like cocktails. If you want to hire a Scooter or Quad I recommend Katerina's Motorbikes. Her prices are good and her bikes are well maintained and the cost of the hire includes Insurance which the rest of the hire companies in Kefalos do not do. You do need your full driving licence. Helmets are also supplied which you must wear as the fines are high and also points on your licence if you are caught not wearing it. We tend to hire a Jeep from the Hermes Hotel a couple of time and go up into the mountains there is a great resturant at the top of Zia well worth the trip. Kefalos is peaceful and friendly and once you have been you will always return again and again!
Kefalops 11th visit - Ann & Martin Foster. Date of travel: Sep 2006
We are addicted to the Island and to this resort in particular. We have made friends with so many visitors over the years who return year after year. The Greeks are so friendly and made you feel as if you are a part of their "family". Kefalos is very laid back and quiet, there is entertainment if you want it and a great choice of restaurants. Many of the hotels have pools and everyone is free to use them. We prefer the beach and although it is fairly shingly it suits us. We have been told by people who have been to other Greek Isles that this is one of the cheapest. I cannot extoll the virtues of the resort enough.
I love Kefalos - Carol. Date of travel: Sep 2006
I have been there for the past ten years with my husband. This year I am on my own as my husband passed away in February. I will feel perfectly safe and have no worries about walking on my own at night.
Kefalos...see you soon! - Robert C, Carrie H. Date of travel: Aug 2006
Kefalos...see you soon!
The island of Kos has a lot to offer, tours etc. The 3 island tour was fantastic although I would recommend going to Kos town and booking it yourself there are plenty of boats to choose from, and its cheaper that way too. In fact it was cheaper all round to do things yourself rather than go through an operator, however trust tours are still a good option. The beaches are great too, found ourselves a great spot by the old ruins to do some snorkling and swimmimg. There's popeyes bar on the strip which is a must; the guys great and always giving away free shots, Aussie bar also has great food. In fact there are so many to choose from in Kefalos, they are all quite good. I have to say that if you are like me and enjoy a good English breakfast you have to go to the Riverside Cafe! Fantastic food and great people. Watch out in Kos Town!! You will be accosted by all the cafe's for business they fight for it big time.. but its all good fun. A must see is the Volcano on Nisyross (Those busses have no business being on them roads), its a little hairy going up the hill. All in our holiday to Kefalos was the best holiday I have had in a long time... you have to see it.
A lovely but quiet resort - Sara and John. Date of travel: Jul 2006
The island of Kos is beautiful and we recommend booking with Trust Tours for all excursions. Their service was excellent and we hired a jeep to travel around the island for just 50 euros. The trips they offer are all brilliant. Go to Nisylros to see the volcano and paradise beach on the glass bottomed boat.....Amazing!!! Tour Operator: First Choice
I'm loving it! - Emma. Date of travel: Jul 2006
Where do I start, perfect for anyone wanting a relaxing holiday, not too crowded, plenty of lovely beaches to choose from. Lots of lovely taverna's and bars (not at all rowdy) although a couple do have music until late but not what we're used to - very well behaved! Captain Johns is my fave restaurant, also like STOP IN, Rainbows, Maria's, Sebastians, Zefyros, dont like Scorpios -very expensive compared to the rest of the bay. All locals are lovely people and they'll remember you next year! Once you've been you'll go back every year! Tour Operator: Olympic
Loved it! - Bev. Date of travel: Jun 2006
Scorpios restaurant was fab for food. Maria's for drink along with Brava Cafe and Sydney's! Sydney's has to be one of the friendliest places even though it was soooo big! Maria's was fab to watch England vs Paraquay in World Cup! Tour Operator: Olympic
Kefalos - Jimmy And Pippa. Date of travel: Jun 2006
Kelfalos was great. We had a lovely chilled time during the middle of June. I would recommend it to anyone wanting a chilled holiday. BUT, if you rent a quad bike from Trust tours, or any rental place, check the bike over before you sign for it. Tour Operator: Cant remember
I want to go back - Harold & Brenda. Date of travel: May 2006
I want to go back
To all of those great folk who gave us information on Kafalos especially Jacki we would like to thank you all for assisting us in having a wonderful holiday in Kefalos. We would like to return many times but once you become 80yrs the Travel Insurance is prohibitive. But for a wonderful holiday choose Kefalos. Kind regards and best wishes, Harold & Brenda
Best to suited to couples - Dave and Charlotte. Date of travel: May 2006
Kefalos beach is rather shingle and it best to take a short boat trip to either Paradise or Magic beaches both of which can get crowded. There is a good selection of tavernas here and some bars. The resort cannot be described as vibrant or quiet somewhere in between. Best to suited to couples of all ages rather than singles or families. Tour Operator: Airtours
We loved Kefalos forever - Elaine & Danny Chamberlain. Date of travel: May 2006
We have never been to Kos before but now it's the only place we want to go .Kefalos has got just what we want -quiet and rexlaing .we can't wait to go any it will be twice this year Tour Operator: manos
Kefalos is a chilled destination - Val Cragg. Date of travel: Oct 2005
Really chilled holiday. Gorgeous turquoise and navy sea - pebbles underfoot at the waters edge. Hot but with strong breeze which makes the heat bearable. Visit Nysseros, a beautiful volcanic island for chocolate box houses clinging to the rocks. Food is great Harry's and Kampos were best and the keftico at Kampos is to die for!! (Both are just behind Sirtakis on the beach.) Tour Operator: Manos
Karen Teague. Date of travel: Aug 2005
This was the best holiday that I have ever been on, despite the fact that MyTravel are the worst, most dangerous tour operator ever! The beaches are balmy, although somewhat shingly. The spelling fab (eg: You can eat Lamp chop or shrims!) The food, booze and fags are all very cheap. Walk along the beach past Club Med for the most amazing ruins and mosaics or up the hill towards the village to look at the old fortress with spectacular views. Thoroughly recommend Sydney bar as the liveliest place on the resort and Trust car hire as being very safe, helpful and friendly. Almost everyone speaks fluent English. Tour Operator: MyTravel
Gary and Jill. Date of travel: Aug 2005
Just returned from a fantastic 2 weeks in Kefalos. Very laid back village without the hustle and bustle of larger resorts. Stayed at the Mayflower Peros, which was clean and in a good location. Hired Mopeds from Manolis car hire just down the road and saw most of the island over the 2 weeks. Can recommend the restaurant at Wave beach which is well of the beaten track but well worth it for the sunset alone. Windsurfed at the Fun Systems surf centre where all the staff were friendly and helpful. All in all a great holiday and will definitely be going back for more. Tour Operator: Planetwindsurf
Lovely - Alice Rimmonds. Date of travel: Aug 2005
Kefalos is a lovely area, with spectacular views of the hills and turqoise sea. The quaint villages were delightfully peaceful and the beaches were amazingly clean and quiet, also, the shopping was great! The sea was pleasantly warm and the weather was perfect, Kefalos is the perfect location for a peacful, relaxing holiday, it is impossible not to have a great holiday there. There is something there for everyone. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit there and I hope to be going back soon! Tour Operator: Tricia
I loved Kefalos - Laura Moran. Date of travel: Aug 2005
Kefalos was fab, it offered plenty of good restaurants and a friendly local atmosphere. There are some shops although not many and the nightlife is limited, however ideal for people looking for a quite relaxing holiday. There are quite a few bars to drink in but they are quiet. The beach was nice and I particularly liked the Survivor club which is in Kefalos: its not in your face at all, you feel like youre in a Greek nightclub rather than in a British one, and they even do Greek dancing in there, which is so much fun. Im going back this year in fact and I cant wait. Tour Operator: Koz Mos
second home - John&steph. Date of travel: Aug 2005
second home
There are many restaurants and bars in Kefalos and one of our favorites is the Dolphin pool bar owned and run by Manoli, who we have become good friends with over the years, we have made many friends at Kefalos that is why we keep coming back. We tended to eat at the Kastri resteraunt and the Rainbow both on the beach with exellent views.
Tony, Margaret Fergusson. Date of travel: Mar 2005
We have been going to Kefalos for 14 years now and have obviously fallen in love with it. Have always stopped at Sevi studios, run by a really nice family, which we are classed as part of now. We hire our car/jeep from Trust car rental just down the road, who we have also known a long time. Kefalos has some stunning beaches and water sports, but also offers a relaxed atmosphere. Some very good tavernas and bars-even a night club for those who don't need an early night. Flights to Kos are easily arranged and Kefalos is only 15 minutes from the airport by car, a car can be arranged to be left at the airport. Tour Operator: none
Kefalos is the best! - Mark and Andrea. Date of travel: Sep 2004
Kefalos is fantastic. You never need to go anywhere else after you have been here. The beach is great although a little bit shingly in places. The water is always clear and warm and you can see the fish easily swimming around your feet! There are many great tavernas, including Maria's, Stamatia, Captain Johns, Argo and not forgetting The Corner! We found The Corner definately served the best Stifado anywhere on Kos and Nikolaos the owner is great!! Its always very quiet in there so go in and enjoy! You should also definately visit Plaka (a sunken forest in the middle of Kos), Kos Town (many ruins), Asklepios (Hippocrates old hospital site - all doctors still today take the Hippocratic oath) and also a visit to Nissyros volcanic island is a must! Tour Operator: Olympic
Pam and Steve. Date of travel: Jul 2004
If you are looking for a relaxing break this is the place. There is a slight breeze in Kefalos which makes the temperature a bit more tolerable. Tavernas were just a short walk away, we tried somewhere different most nights and were never disappointed. I would definitely go there again. Look forward to going back again. Tour Operator: Virgin
Best spot on the island - Margaret and Huw. Date of travel: Sep 2003
Kefalos is wonderful. Been twice a year since 1994!!! Eat at Captain John's, go to Marcos beach with the Beach Boys (on the water taxi) and generally have the best time ever! If you have children, don't even think about going anywhere else.
