Kefalos Holidays

Visitors flock to the south coast of Kos to bask on the endless stretches of sandy beach, bathe in the calm seas, and explore the scenic mountains. The resort of Kefalos is located on a headland with spectacular views of the island's southern coastline. The resort is also uniquely positioned in front of the dramatic Mount Zini and Mount Latia. Holidays in Kefalos offer a combination the old and new; Kefalos old town, with its traditional Greek whitewashed houses, is located on a hill overlooking the modern resort below.

Holidays in Kefalos offer easy access to a choice of beaches: the sand and shingle beach of Kamari is popular with sun-worshippers and families, whereas Limnionas offers two beaches - one either side of the peninsula. Nearby excursions include a climb to the hill fort, which offers spectacular views from the top, adventurous hikes into the mountains and rugged terrain, a visit to the nearby Byzantine church, and an exploration of the ancient ruins of the Astypalia amphitheatre.

The island's capital, Kos Town, with its excellent shopping and enormous beach, is 24 miles, (39 kilometres) away. Holidays in Kefalos offer both relaxed, traditional evenings as well as more energetic options. The old town is dotted with traditional tavernas and relaxed bars where visitors can dine on local specialities and watch the sunset.
