Kosmar - (Tour Operators on Kos)

Pete S           

We stayed at Anastasia Studios, near the little harbour in Kefalos, in 2002. This was our third Kosmar Holiday, and we have since then had two more (Makriyalos, Crete in 2003 and Kamari, Santorini in 2004). Anastasia Studios are beautifully kept, lovely white marble everywhere. A real pleasure to stay there. Across the road is a supermarket owned by a chap called Nikos, who is the most friendly person we have ever met in Greece, and if you are a Greek Islands regular, you'll know that they are all very friendly. We had a trip to the nearby volcanic island of Nisyros, which was just wonderful. We are great Greek Islands and Kosmar fans, and Kos was among the best, in every respect. We would happily visit again, but as late starters in the Islands, we are trying to see as many as possible in our later years. We are already booked, with Kosmar, for Thassos in 2005.

Anastasia Apartments - (Accommodation in Kefalos)

We stayed at the Anastasia Apartments in August 2002, and thoroughly enjoyed it.  The studio (upstairs) was superb - white marble everywhere - beautiful.  Well furnished, great view, tv available (if you needed it), usual Greek facilities.  The beach immediately in front of the apartment was a bit stony, but a walk of about 50 yards (the opposite side of the harbour) took you to a nice sandy one, with the boulders of the harbour on one side, which made snorkelling interesting.

The supermarket just over the road was then run by a chap called Nic, who was just the friendliest, most helpful person we have ever met in Greece.  We went to the little harbour every day.  Although quite tiny, there was something interesting to see.  Our all-time favourite excursion was from here, to the nearby volcanic island of Nisyros - wonderful.
 
I would recommend this holiday to anyone who enjoys (as we do) self-catering in the Greek Islands.
