Pantheon Apartments - (Accommodation in Kefalos)

Allison C           

What can I say! I have just returned from the Pantheon a few hours ago and it has to have been the most relaxing holidays I have ever had.

The Pantheon sits high on the hill overlooking the bay of Kefalos and has to be one of the most stunning views I have ever seen. I was staying in an apartment right on the end on the top floor and think I had the best view in the place. Every morning I would sit on the balcony from about 7:30am and watch the place gradually come alive. I never got tired of the view. It was a treat to watch the little old Greek man herd his goats up and down the hill.
The apartment itself was big enough and spotlessly clean. The only down side is, it is quite a long way from the main resort but sometimes this can be a blessing and there is always the old green bus to take you into the centre, an experience not to be missed.
The people that run the Pantheon, Babis, Maria, Panos and especially Janet are wonderful warm people, that cannot do enough for you.
I was almost in tears when I left but I'm already planning my return for next year!

Myself and my son ate here one evening and were really impressed! He had the spagetti bolgnese and I had the spagetti special. It was out of this world! The staff were very friendly and helpful and the meal was definitley value for money. I wanted to eat there again before the end of our holiday but we didn't get round to it.

Colleen, I've just come back from Kefalos a couple of weeks ago and found the local people very friendly. My son and I ate at our apartments most nights (the Pantheon) but one night we went to Stamatia on the sea front and had a wonderful meal. The service was very good too. I'm sure you will have a lovely time.

Was you that served me when I was in Kefalos then? I was there 25th May - 2nd June and came in towards the end of my holiday with my son (who has a huge afro hair style, so you can't miss him). I bought a very pretty candle holder and candle set.
I loved the shop and when I'm in Kefalos next year I will definitely be popping in.

Hi Tracey

Small world isn't it!  Yes I probably was on the same flight as you on the way back to Bristol. What a shame Kefalos is so quiet at the moment and I'm sorry to hear that your boyfriend is dishearted. I hope business picks up for him because like you said his shop is definitely the best in Kefalos for gifts. It's definitely not the usual tacky stuff. I would have bought more because there were so many lovely thiings that I liked but I had the slight problem of lack of space in the suitcases. Next year I'm taking bigger ones.
Best wishes

My problem was that my son bought 5 baseball hats in Kefalos and didn't want them squashed in the case on the way home, so I had some serious re-arranging to do!

Kos Airport - (Places to Visit on Kos)

Allison C           

Having read all the comments already on here I have to say I'm a little surprised! We flew back to the UK on 2nd June and had no problems at Kos airport. The only complaint I suppose was the check in which was a bit slow but after that it was fine. We boarded in plenty of time and took off on time.

Hi Tracey

Great news that you are off to Kefalos soon. Hope you have a good time and that trade has picked up a bit for your boyfriend.
No we don't live in Somerset, we live in Wiltshire, so couldn't have been my son you saw. Interesting to think there could be another one like him on the loose! Did the lad you see have a big afro?

Hi  Tracey

The 11th still isn't that far away. Have a great time! I've noticed that the temperatures have been pretty high out in Kos, so probably not ideal running weather!

Hi all

Hope they get the boards up soon, I'm really missing them. How was your holiday Heather? I've finally managed to book my holiday in Kefalos for next year. We go on the 24th May for a week at the Pantheon. Sunset have put their prices up quite a bit!
Speak to you all soon.

I was in Kefalos at the end of May but didn't find the Interface Cafe. I'm going back May next year, so can someone explain where I can find the Interface.

Many thanks

Can anyone tell me if any/all of the apartments at the Mythos apartments have sea views. I'm thinking about either booking at the Mythos or Akti Dimmy's for next year.

Thanks

Akti Dimmys are in the Airtours brochure. Thinking of going there myself in 2007, I'm already booked at the Pantheon in Kefalos for 2006 or I might have chosen Akti Dimmys for next year myself.

I don't think you can book direct with the Pantheon. I think it is only through Sunset (Thomas Cook) or Kosmar.

Hi Debbie

I stayed at the Pantheon last year and I'm going back in May. You can change travellers cheques at the reception at the Pantheon for a very small fee (I think it's something like 1% if I remember correctly). I did pay extra to keep the room on but you can only keep it till 8:00pm and I think they charge 20 euros for that. It was worth it though. I'm sure you will have a brilliant time at the Pantheon. It is a little bit of heaven on earth and the people that run it are lovely, especially Janet who is an English lady married to one of the Greek guys that own the Pantheon.
 
Best wishes

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.

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.

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

Hi Jack

Kardemena is about a 15 to 20 minute drive away from Kefalos depending on what part of the resort you are staying in. A taxi will cost you around 25 Euros but if you were going over there early evening you could take the local bus which will cost about 2 Euros.

The Pantheon is listed on Low Cost holidays website, at a very reasonable price I might add

I've stayed there several times myself and love it!
