Stenna Apartments Kefalos


One of Kefalos’s best kept secrets in my opinion, snuggled away on the back road leading to the Kontessa.  A 5min stroll to the Harbour Road and to Galini’s (Georges) which offers a varied menu while still offering good value for money and you’re always assured of a warm welcome from the ‘family’.

These apartments offer excellent value for money.

Inside the 1 bed apt’s there is ample space for three adults, the kitchen area is basic with two ring electric hob and kettle (can’t remember seeing a toaster) there is a table and chairs as well as an easy chair, the third bed is within this area and there’s still enough room.  The wardrobe space is large enough, a safe is in here as well, with hangers although there are no drawers.

The bathroom shower area is large by some standards and there was always plenty of hot water as well.

The bedroom has two singles which can be pushed together without any hassle there is a small 2 drawer unit with a large mirror.

And in turn it leads out to a balcony which has a table & chairs. This area offers lovely views across the bay and to the mountain the sunrise is something to behold absolutely breathtaking!!!

Stena, whose owns the apartments, runs them with her sister and nothing is a bother all you have to do is ask. They were cleaned to a good standard through out our stay.  You can book the apartments through the normal travel agent route or by logging onto lowcostbeds.com

Or by dealing direct with the owners on 00302242071629 and ask for Maria


We would definitely go back no prob’s!!!!!!!

Jacks Apartments, Kefalos, Kos

These apartments are a hidden gem within the resort of Kefalos

Set in a very tranquil location the brochure simply doesn’t do Jacks justice.

This is a very friendly, family run complex where there is always somebody around if you need anything / have any queries all you have to do is ask.

They are situated behind the Athinoula/Hotel Eleni and just a five minute walk from the Aussie BBQ, using the shortcuts which Jack will only be too happy to point out.  But just in case come out of Jacks to the road and turn right head along to the White House on the left hand side (approx 150m’s) and turn left down the road until you come to the junction (approx 100m’s) then just cross straight over and go down the side track which leads you out to the side of the Aussie BBQ.

If you have walking difficulties this route is not appropriate.

You’ll need to turn left at the junction and walk down to the Hotel Eleni where you have two choices the first is to use the path down the side of Sebastian’s Bar or secondly walk about 10m’s further along the road and use another path  which goes down the side of the super market.

Either way you’ll need a torch for part of the way in the dark.

Accommodation

The apartments themselves offer all the usual equipment.  They were cleaned to a very high standard throughout our stay and the sheets and towels were changed regularly through out our stay . There was always a good supply of hot water.  The beds were really comfortable. There was a large wardrobe in the passageway which offered more than enough space for the three adults in our party and all of our ‘kit’ etc. All in all they’re fairly small but well laid out and maintained. There is no air conditioning but you can hire fans at a nominal rate. All the apartments have a safe which are available at a very reasonable charge.

Facilities

The Pool is fantastic!!!  It’s a salt water pool which is held at a constant 6%, it does wonders for your tan.  Because there are NO nasty chemicals in it it’s less harmful to the environment as well plus you don’t end up stinking of Chlorine and your swimming costumes won’t rot either. There are steps with a full hand rail at the shallow end for easy access to the pool. There’s an ample supply of sun beds some of which are laid out in a shaded / covered area if a parasol is not sufficient

The pool side bar is not your usual run of the mill either!!!  

It opens at 0800hrs for breakfast etc and closes last man standing.  It offers a full restaurant menu throughout the day with daily specials to tempt you in the evening.

The restaurant area is covered and has patio sliding doors that slide completely across to enclose the room if required during cooler evenings.

If you have particular food requirements – Jack is happy to accommodate and cook whatever you want (within reason / with notice)

The Bar has a wide range of drinks on offer as well a fantastic range of cocktails.

The prices for the food and drinks at Jacks Apartments will not break your bank either which in the Pound v’s Euro war needs to be given consideration.
