Information about Kefalos

Kefalos Village Kos: Kefalos is a beautiful town in Kos lying on the slopes of a hill, 40 km south west of the main town. It was the first capital of Kos and today it reaches a population of 2500 inhabitants.

Houses are built close to each other forming a labyrinth of narrow alleys, a feature that characterizes the traditional Greek islands.
