A guide to the best restaurants in Kefalos
For a small town, Kefalos has a vast array of eateries to choose from. Walking around both the winding streets of the old town area and the coastal region will lead you to dozens of small tavernas typical of holidays to Greece. The most popular dishes here are from authentic Greek menus, but you’ll also be able to find British pubs, Italian restaurants and even a spot for a Japanese meal. Here are some of the town’s top restaurants to dine in on your holiday.
Fresh fish caught daily at Camel Restaurant
Overlooking Kamari Bay, this seafood restaurant serves up delicious selections of fresh fish that were caught that very morning.

Massive portions at Hippocrates
Hope you’re hungry, as Hippocrates is known for serving generous portions.
