We are staying at the Maritsa Studios in June, could anyone give us any information on the apartments and the resort as this is the first time we are visiting Kefalos

Thank you for the information its really useful, we are going to Kefalos the last two weeks in June so it should be warming up by then. The 1/2 hour walk won't be a problem, it will be easier going back after a few drinks! The apartments sound ok, like you say as long as they are clean and comforatable that's the main thing. Could you recommend some places to eat, drink and places to visit on the island as this is the first time we have been to Kos, you must really like Kefalos as this year it's your eleveth visit. We have been to several Greek islands before and are looking forward to this one so hopefully if everything goes well we will be returning year after year

 

Many thanks Nick

Thank you, i can't wait to go, it sounds like we will be spoilt for choice

 

Have a great time in September

Just got back from our first visit to Kefalos and had a great time

 

Just got back from our first visit to Kefalos and had a great time. We stayed at the Maritsa Studios at the quiet end and it was spot on, to say it is near a main road this didn't cause any problems at all, the only time we heard any noise was one morning when half of the Greek army went past in tanks!

 

There are pleny of good restaurants near by and the Dolphin bar does a nice JD and coke for that night cap

 

One worring thing though, on a day trip around the island our guide Costos showed us a local paper that had got letters writen in by British holiday makers saying they have tried to book a holiday in Kefalos but the tour operators have told them all the hotels and apartmetns are full, DO NOT BELIVE THEM Kefalos is quiet it seems they want to encourage people to try new resorts like Bulgaria and Croatia so if they don't play ball cut them out and book direct as the local businesses will suffer

 

We had a lovely time and will definitley be going back

We have just stayed for two weeks at the Maritsa Studios and had a wonderful time, the studios are in a great place away from any noisy late night bars and clubs

 

For those who know about the black and white cat, she is doing fine judging by the "buttons" on her tummy it looks like she has recently had kittens. Two children at the apartments called her Felix for her similarity to the cat on the adverts

 

The apartments are basic but very clean, they are near to the main road but don't let this put you off as you hardly hear any traffic, there are two supermarkets near by with two telephones outside, the beach is just a few hundred yards down by a side road next to Jim's supermarket

 

Just along the main road from the apartments are several good restaurants we couldn't fault any of them but found the best one to be Four Seasons, they do a very nice steak!

 

The prices of all of the bars and restaurants are very good, we took the same amount of spending money as last year (Santorini) and came back with a few hundred pounds left over

 

The sun shone every day and the breeze that you experience is very nice as it stops you from feeling too hot, we will be going back as it is a great place to chill out and relax

Manolis are right next door, you will have your rep meeting there. The pool is very nice, it is not the biggest in the world but you don't have far to go to the pool bar!

 

If you walk down the road and turn right just after the super market and go up the side road, the Chrysoula apartments have got a public pool that we used quite a bit, the pool is very big they don't mind any one using it as long as you buy a drink or something to eat. There are plenty of sun beds and it is very relaxing, they do a very nice chip buttie as well!  

 

You will like Kefalos the peolpe are lovely and the resort is very laid back. Looking at the temps it is getting warm but there is always a slight breeze which doesn't make it feel too warm

 

Have a great time

Not sure why it's gone done to 3/10, it is basic but very clean, the lady who runs the place is called Maritsa and she is on the ball all the time so i'm sure you will like it

 

Have a great time i'm sure you will, look forward to hearing how you went on

So glad you had a good holiday like you say the apartments are basic but you have everything you need and Maritsa is always around to help with any queries

 

The people and all the different places to eat couldn't be better, we didn't go on the Greek night but that is something we can do next time. Sounds like the green bags are a good idea!

 

Bambi next door is always very good for that late night drink and not having to walk too far back is a bonus. Did you see any of the cats, they looked clean and didn't cause any problems as most of the time they were a sleep

 

The weather sounds like it was hot but with that breeze it never feels too hot, we had a great time and will be going back as it's so easy to relax and forget about work!

 

Did you find the resort to be quiet or busy, when we were there in June it was fairly quiet which was nice for us as you never want places to be too packed with people, we will recommend Kefalos to our friends as it was one of the best holidays we have had.

Couldn't agree more with you about Spain, not just Kos but Greece in general is much nicer. We only walked down to the harbour once and that was enough i got a blister on my toe! , like your selves we stayed near the Maritsa end but we did go down to the Chinese restaurant and Captain John's a few times

 

The rep Amanda was very good, if you had any queries or needed some help she always sorted it out, we travelled with Manos out of Manchester, it's the first time we have gone with them and didn't have any problems

 

It's good to hear the cats are ok, the black and white one used to come in to our room, it is hard not to give them any food but i like cats any way so it was nice. Did you have a go on the horse and cart ride, we were going to but only saw it with people in it, it would have made that long walk back a lot easier

 

We will definitely go back to Kefalos again but next year my girlfriend is wanting to go to Skiathos, have you been there before, we haven't so it will be a new experiance
