Kefalos Artemis Apartments

Kefalos Artemis Apartments was a very nice place to stay. We have been to Kefalos 6 times now. Very clean, and fairly quiet. The owners are lovely friendly people, if a little shy.

The Artemis apartments are excellent. Sited just down the road from the petrol filling station about 50 yards up a well lit concrete path. A two storey block about 8 years old with a total of 10 apartments. Spotlessly clean and bright rooms with good kitchen facilities - fridge with freezer compartment, 2 ring burner, toaster and kettle, adequate pots, pans, glasses & cutlery. Small dining table with two cushioned chairs.Very bright & spacious rooms with a good sized balcony. Plastic table and two plastic chairs on balcony. Balcony faces west so you get the sun all afternoon. Usual shower and toilet room. Large wardrobe with two storage drawers beneath. Dressing table with two drawers with a mirror above. Single bed-side cabinet. Good sized wooden framed beds with very firm mattresses. Sheets and towels changed every other day. Plenty of hot water from about 10:00am (heated by solar panels) until well into the evening. Safety box in room - costs about 10 Euros a week. No air conditioning which could well be an issue in the height of summer but fans can be hired. No pool or snack bar on site but no problem about using other nearby hotel pools. 24 hour diner and mini-market at the end of the path leading to the block. Late check-out from room (we stayed until 11:00 pm) costs 25 Euros.

Owners are very friendly, obliging and welcoming. My wife and I are regular visitors to Kefalos - we like it because it is a very quiet resort. This year, however, it was even quieter than usual with lots of places closed early. Apparently things had been quiet in the summer but following the XL collapse things became a lot worse. This seems to have had a knock-on effect with reduced custom in bars, tavernas and shops.

Anyway we still enjoyed ourselves as there were still plenty of places to eat, drink and shop and the weather was ideal.
