Advantages: Up the hill and very quiet. Disadvantages: None that we could find
We have holidayed in Greece for the past 16 years and visited many islands. This year it was Kos.
I saw Kefalos advertised for £250 each for 2 weeks, and as we wanted to do some island hopping at the same time thought that this was a good price.
We were booked into the HotelPantheon in Kefalos,. We arrived at 4-00am in the heat of 23 degrees to be shown to our rooms by Manos. Bed was the greatest need at that time so off to sleep we went.
We woke up some time later to the view that you see attached.
The Pantheon is run by Manos and Janet, husband and wife and Babbis and Maria his brother and sister in law.
The hospitality was second to none.
As the Pantheon is on a hill, with views to the front of Nisyros and from the back Kalymnos, it is a little steep to walk, but you can manage if you take your time. I add that there ...
Advantages: cheap to eat out, nice weather and clear blue sea and plenty of water sports Disadvantages: People of Kos don't seem to like tourists, Windy
Me and my boyfriend went to Kefalos in Kos this year on our first holiday together. It took us a while to decide if this was where we wanted to go but for the price we couldn't refuse. We paid £179.00 each for a week self catering. We stayed at Kefalos Studios. Our Apartment was very basic, had a shower room, 2 single beds, kitchen and a balcony. Basic but nice. The only disadvantage here was that there wasn't a pool with the apartment but we only had to walk a few yards to use the public swimming pool which was very clean. By the pool there was also a 24 hour supermarket which was very handy (especially for my boyfriend who got up late one night and decided he wanted a packet of Haribo!!!!!!). We spent most of our time on the beach. The sand was way too hot to lie on and the sun was very hot so I would definetly advise you to hire a sun ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Kos (Greece)
Advantages: Great view, friendly owners and plenty of sun beds! Disadvantages: Steep hill.
Last year I went to the sunny island of Kos. This fairly large island has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world in my opinion. Even though I don't like sand I do love to watch the sea so sitting by a taverna while the sun sets on the horizon was lovely. Also the beaches weren't too crowded either!
The Hotel
I went to Kos with my family including my mam's parents. We stayed in Hermes Hotel in Kefalos which is built into a hill. It isn't a suitable place to take people with walking disabilities. Lots of people complained because of the hill but I found it fairly easy to walk up and down each night after a couple of games of The Alphabet Game (don't ask? my mam's idea). The owners of the hotel were very friendly and even told us our Greek names. We were all amused by our Greek names because they basically stayed the same ...
