Pantheon Apartments
(Apartments in Kefalos)

I am so looking forward to returning to the Pantheon, Kefalos, Platia Elefteria and Kartoulis Fast Food Specialist, Magic Beach, Nissiros and a day trip to Turkey.  Oops, almost forgot the peacocks at Plaka.  And the sponges in Kalymnos!

Having just experienced the sad fires of Attiki on the mainland, and the mad island of Myconos, I feel rather more comfortable on Kos.  Sure, you will get fined for not wearing a helmet or seatbelt here, but at least the Police care!  On Myconos, it is total anarchia!

Those views from the Pantheon have spiked my heart and memory:  only Lauterbrunnen in Switzerland has a similar effect.  Viva the Pantheon and inhabitants.  See you soon, but not in Sounion!

Phillip, Will, Helen and Mick - not from Mick Ornos:  get it?  Ornos is a town on Myconos!  Never again.  Only the Pelican loved my music!  I am joking, somewhat. 

O Kos, why do I love you so much?
Because you are such!

Hi all...

Well after a late night arrival home from the Pantheon I had to just drop a line to all of you.
Once again we have had a wonderful time and felt really bad to leave... again.. however we have had a great time.
 
This time we stayed for two weeks which was just right, we hired a scooter from Trust and had a great time zipping around the island and seeing things we didn't get chance to see before, beaches, Mastihari, and Kalymnos. Had lovely meal at Limionis on our wedding anniversary ( all that was on the menu was shrimps and grilled fish but god it was good ) which we wouldn't have been able to do unless we had transport
 
And to all at the Pantheon, THANK YOU we will see you again as soon as we possibly can !!
 
Best Wishes
 
Sue & Tim Bickerdike

Hello fellow readers.  I have lived in Greece from 1978 to 1980 as a musician and teacher and have travelled around many of the islands.  I have visited Kos several times since 1988, and often play my violin in Kos town.  I have always chosen to stay in Kefalos since it seems to have a timeless quality and, as the Greeks say, it has "eesichia" - it is peaceful!

Since 2005 I have enjoyed staying at the Pantheon:  the hospitality is par excellence, as are the views.  I always cry whenever I leave and, believe me, I have made many friends on this island over the years.  I can recommend Manolis at the Fast Food Specialist in Kefalos old Town, as a good friend and cook, for example.

It somewhat saddens me to read the occasional, derogatory review with the usual nit-picking about this or that, when most of my fellow British citizens know full well that they would not obtain such a holiday, at such a price, in our own land, or with the amazing blue sky, sea and starry nights with their associated philosophical effects on the soul and, indeed, body!  The people in Kefalos are, simply, great:  my Greek is not perfect, but they love you for trying! 

Having digested some of these reviews, it would seem that some people go to Greece for the wrong reasons.  Kos, for example, like all the islands, possesses its own charm and idiosyncratic character, as well as the historical ruins etc.  Kefallinia, for example, is the complete antithesis of this island in all kinds of ways!  Kos is fantastic, Kefalos is one of the most beautiful places and has, contrary to some reviewers, some fantastic beaches - but dare I not tell you all where they are!

Last but not least, Janet and Panos, Maria and Babis, and the cleaning staff are fantastic, too.  Like all of us, we are only human!  As Shakespeare said:  "Life is not a walk through a garden of roses."  However, whenever I go to, or come back from Kos, I feel totally invigorated and replenished and good to be alive!  So do my two offspring, too!

You can book a late check out at the Pantheon but you will have to do it when you get there. It's 20 euros to keep the room till 8pm

Some apartments have air con, some don't. You can hire a fan at a small charge but because the Pantheon is on a hill there is always a good breeze. The only time I have ever need a fan there was last year when we arrived in the middle of a heat wave. When I was there in June this year it was quite hot but still didn't need a fan for the apartment.

The Pantheon is about 1 1/2 miles from the centre of the resort. They run a little green bus to the centre of the resort at 10am, 1:30pm, 6pm, 10pm and the last one coming  back 10:30pm.
I have walked to the centre of the resort several times and going down the hill is fine, coming back up is a little harder but not so bad if it's night time and cool.
 
By the way, you will love the Pantheon. I've been 4 times. Was there in June this year and going back for my 5th visit in September
I've added a picture I took this year from my apartment.

Can anyone help me ?!! We had a brilliant family holiday in 2006 at Pantheon and was hoping to go back next year. However I can't find the apartments advertised anywhere except Thomas Cook and they only offer studios for 2-3 people. I remember that there were two 2 bedroom apartments. Does anyone know who deals with the lets on these please?

I wholeheartedly agree with Alan Murray's comments. A holiday at the Pantheon apartments is just superb. Janet and her family are the most wonderful hosts and nothing is too much trouble for them. Everything is done with willingness and great big smiles. The food is lovely (The kleftico was my favourite !!) and the service provided by the Jolly Green Jalopy is terrific, especially for someone as lazy as me. That hill back from the village is a killer !!!!
Anyway, if any of the gang who were there at the same time as us are reading this, I'd just like to say "Hi and hope to see you all at the Pantheon again"
 
Once again, many thanks to Janet, Panos, Babis, Marie and little Harry for making us so welcome. We feel just like part of your family.
 
Much love,
 
Mark and Margaret Binns

Just back from a rotten fortnight at the Pantheon ( I am obviously lying as I want to keep knowledge of the place to myself although I fancy I am not alone in my love of the place ). This was our second consecutive year at these apartments and we even managed to get number 8 so had the same fabulous views day and night. The complex was as clean as a whistle having had its annual decoration. The food and drink on site were excellent , plentiful and very reasonably priced. As for the local people they are still very welcoming and as for Janet and Co. nothing is too much trouble. Even my friend the green bus was still stepping up to the plate. The only down side , not , was having to socialise with the likes of the Cardiff contingent and Mark/Mags! It was good to meet everybody and we will definitely be returning although it may not be until 2009. Could I get a job as Scottish promoter for the Pantheon?
