The island of Kastri

Situated in the Kefalos Bay this little island stands out with its picturesque little church. It is one of the most famous landmarks on the island and a must see for every visitor. One can easily swim across and visit the island and/or dive from its rocky shores into the deep blue waters of the Aegean.

The Gournia Spring

Nestled under a rock in a relatively remote part of Kefalos, just off a dirt road, lies the beautiful Gournia spring. It's quite an unexpected find in a place where you would least expect an abundance of fresh water...

Kata Beach

The Kata Beach in Kefalos, near Aghios Theologos, is remote and stunningly beautiful. The shipwreck at the end of the beach is certainly one of those defining landmarks that make this place so remarkable and unique

Views out of Vriokastro

Here is a sample of the stunning views you will get to enjoy on your way up to the Vriokastro Castle. Cavo Paradiso and Cape Krikelos offer breathtaking sights that are well worth the climb....

Vriokastro

In Vriokastro you will find the scattered remains of a medieval castle. Vriokastro is situated in the south western part of the island just before the southernmost tip of the island, the Krikelos peninsula. It is difficult to access and a pretty difficult climb on an abrupt cliff overlooking Paradise Beach. To get there you will have to leave your transport a kilometer or so after the crossroad leading to Cavo Paradiso (you head towards Aghios Mammas). You then go on a westerly direction past mount Keri and head towards the mountain at the end of Cavo Paradiso. The remains are scarce and few, the one column being the highlight once you get to the top. The view is awe inspiring and well worth the climb...

The Mia River

This river situated in Kefalos between Limnionas and Aghios Theologos is a sight most people would not expect to find on the island of Kos. During the winter there is quite a decent flow of water and the numerous water turtles love to spend the day in the sun next to the water, ready to plunge in if a the rare intruder comes by. As the days get warmer and we get closer to the summer the flow slows down to a mere trickle, but the plush greenery in the bed of the river remains vigorous.
