A Kefalos holiday will find you in the south of Kos, about 40 km from Kos Town. In comparison to many of the other resorts on the island, Kefalos is certainly one of the quietest. However, this only adds to its abundance of charm and character. All sorts of quirky scenery surrounds the resort, including the monastery of Agios Nikolas and the early Christian basilicas of Aghios Stefanos, ensuring a unique background for all your holiday snaps. There are also some simpler, more relaxing sights to behold at the curvaceous main beach, which is surrounded by bars and tavernas on one side and clean blue waters on the other.

Currency

Greece's monetary unit is the Euro. No other currency is accepted and it is best to exchange dollars or other currency at a bank. The exchange rates are all the same throughout the country and you exchange money at a bank or official exchange shop where you will get the best running rates. Banks are open from 9:00 AM until 2:00 PM. At the new airport near the luggage pickup you can find machines that can exchange foreign currency and return Euro.
