"The owners of this stunning hotel, George & Ginger, were incredibly friendly, kind & helpful during my stay. You are appreciated at this hotel & certainly not treated as just a number. The hotel has been beautifully & thoughtfully restored, is spotlessly clean & you couldn’t ask for a better location right on the harbour front & close to the ferry and all of the restaurants & cafes. But for me, you couldn’t wish for better hosts in a more beautiful hotel in Kalymnos. This stay was the highlight...

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Kefalos?
The best area to stay in Kefalos is Kefalos Village, situated on the hillside, or Kamari Bay, located directly on the coast.

Kefalos Village, the original settlement, offers a more traditional Greek experience. It's built into the hillside, providing elevated views over Kamari Bay. You'll find a handful of tavernas and small shops along its winding, narrow streets, with the ruins of a medieval castle marking the village's highest point. This area is ideal for those seeking a peaceful retreat and a glimpse into local life.

Kamari Bay is the more developed tourist area, stretching along the coastline beneath Kefalos Village. It features a long sandy and shingle beach, lined with a good selection of restaurants, cafes, and a few small supermarkets. The main road runs parallel to the beach, making it easy to get around. This area is great for families due to its direct beach access and relaxed atmosphere. Children will enjoy the calm, shallow waters, and parents will appreciate the convenience of having amenities close by.

Couples often enjoy Kamari Bay for its relaxed evenings and stunning sunsets. Many of the beachfront restaurants offer tables right by the water, creating a lovely setting for a meal.
When is the best time to go to Kefalos?
The best time to visit Kefalos is during the shoulder seasons, specifically from May to early June or late September to October.

During these months, you'll experience pleasant weather that's ideal for exploring without the intense heat and crowds of the peak summer months. The sea is warm enough for swimming, and you'll find a relaxed atmosphere across the island. It's a superb time for those looking for a comfortable and tranquil holiday.

Couples often find these periods particularly appealing for a romantic getaway. The beaches are less busy, making for more secluded moments, and you can enjoy dining at local tavernas without feeling rushed. The slightly cooler evenings are also lovely for a stroll along the harbour.

Families travelling with younger children might also prefer the shoulder seasons. The milder temperatures are kinder for little ones, and popular attractions like the Antimachia Castle or the local water parks are enjoyable without the long queues.
Where can I find the best nightlife in Kefalos?
Kefalos offers a few distinct areas for evening entertainment, suiting different preferences.

The main village of Kefalos, situated on the hillside, has a quieter selection of tavernas and a few traditional kafenions. These establishments typically close earlier than those in the resort areas. You'll find places for a relaxed drink or a meal, but not late-night venues.

Down by Kamari Bay, which is the resort area below the old village, you'll find a greater concentration of bars and restaurants. This area is more geared towards holidaymakers and has establishments that stay open later into the evening. You'll find a mix of cocktail bars and pubs here, often with music playing. It's the most active area for evening drinks and socialising in Kefalos.

Paradise Beach, while primarily a daytime spot, does have a couple of beach bars that open for evening drinks during peak season.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. If free cancellation is available, you can cancel directly through your Expedia account by logging in, going to "My Trips", and selecting your reservation.
