Hi Jane
Bad news! Just come back from Kef and the Rock Garden is no more....just a derelict shell

Wendy - there are a couple of places along the main road where you can hire scooters and quads. Trust Rentals is one which you can find on the web.
Cigarettes were about 3 euros for 20 but a lot of the smaller shops like Babis and anthoula's (spelling) next to the mayflower had no stock of B+H and other popular brands when we were out there a couple of months ago. Exchange rate for sterling travellers cheques was about 1.16 euros at Kef Tours but that will obviously vary on when you go and the current exchange rate
I'd say Jacks is about a 10 minute walk to the main road which has quite a few bars and restaurants and then about another 10 minutes to the top end of the harbour road with more bars and restaurants.
Just come back from another week in Kef and stayed for the first time at the Artemis. Would not hesitate to use these apartments again - great location, set back from the main road (so some traffic noise). Katerina and family very firendly and helpful.
Sue - there always seem to be plenty of taxis at the airport - there are no taxi companies in Kefalos. I think I've read on one forum that the fare is about 25 euros. There is some information on the mastihari uncovered website where there may be a link to book one
45 euros
Glad you enjoy Kef, we've had two trips out this year and comparing prices for next year alreadyHi Alison
There is a reasonably good bus service from Kef to Kos Town but I obviously don't know about how it will be from Blue Lagoon. There is a good link to the bus timetable for this year on this site - http://www.mastihari-uncovered.com/bustimes.htm. It was 4e from Kef to Kos this year. I think there's an idea of taxi prices as well on the site. Kos Town is definately worth a trip for half a day.
We usually book the trip to Nissyros from one of the two agents in Kefalos. Boat plus bus upto the (active) volcano was about 25e this year. The boat leaves Kefalos at 9am and leaves Nissyros at 3 - 3.30 so you do have time to do the volcano and spend sometime down in the main town.Antoni's is still going - we used the place last year when we had a late flight back and couldn't keep our room on at the Artemis.
Hi - It looks like FC have definately pulled out at Kefalos - nothing on their website at all.
Travelrepublic and Easyjet Holidays both have the Pantheon listed on their websites
Hi Kate and Neil
Pantheon Studios - just received the Direct Holidays brochure for 2012 in the post this morning and they are also in there
Back from our second stay at Mayflower 2, although we have used the pool area etc on other holidays and can only echo previous comments.
Had a brilliant time in August and used Marias almost every night. The 'boys' were both in good form - and Mano enjoyed taking my son at football on the PS2. Large vap still 1.5 euros
