Area information
Kefalos is a beautiful village on the southwest tip of Kos island, about 42km away from Kos Town and 16km away from Kos International Airport "Hippocrates". Kefalos is separated into two parts, the traditional village situated on the hilltop, and the waterfront and harbour of Kamari Bay. Opposite Kamari Bay is the small island of Kastri with the church of St. Nicholas, one of the most photographed and iconic landmarks of the island.
Kefalos village has many different buildings and houses squeezed along narrow streets, alongside traditional coffee houses and shops. Kamari Bay is the seaside and harbour of Kefalos. There are a large number of traditional tavernas and bars, many offering entertainment to suit everyone, from open mic nights to traditional Greek nights. The bay also has shops and supermarkets to explore.
The local area is famous for its many beautiful beaches, among the best in Greece and Europe, often awarded with Blue Flags. Apart from its idyllic beaches, Kefalos is of significant archaeological interest and historical value. The Castle of Kefalos, dating back to the Byzantine era, and early Christian churches (5th and 6th century) at St. Stephen, are only some of the area’s treasures.
