A traditional village, where it is not unusual to see the little old ladies lace-making as they sit in the shade on their doorsteps. The village cafes are normally full of men playing "tavli", one of many variations of back gammon! It's a village well known for its thyme honey and local cheeses. Just taking a walk round the back streets could lead you to the ruins of the ancient Medieval castle. Kefalos is perched up high on a hill so don't plan to walk there if you're not so fit.

Kamari bay
This is the beach resort of Kefalos situated right at the other end of the island with coarse sandy beaches , watersports, a few shops and a few bars and tavernas. A fairly quiet resort, a little bit cut off from anywhere else although the local bus that goes to Kos takes about an hour run a couple of times a day.

Agios Stefanos
Situated just as one comes into the Kefalos area, over looking the bay you'll discover ruins on the seashore of an ancient Basilica St.Stephens. These remains date back to 2nd century and the mosaics still exist to this day have been covered by coarse sand more recently for protection from the environment, but in places are still visible to the visitor.
