About the Beach

Kefalos is a very long and popular beach located in the wide bay of Kamari, serving as the main coastal hub for the western side of the island. The shore is a mix of sand and small pebbles, and the water is famously cool and refreshing, even in the height of summer. It is a very well-organized destination with a vast array of water sports, tavernas, and beach bars lining the waterfront. Despite its popularity, the beach is so extensive that it rarely feels congested, offering plenty of space for everyone. The views across the bay toward the volcanic island of Nisyros are spectacular. It is a very practical and lively choice for families and active travelers who want a wide range of facilities in a beautiful setting. The area is also rich in history, with ancient ruins and traditional architecture found nearby, adding a cultural layer to your seaside visit.
