Agios Stefanos beach
It is the north-eastern part of Kefalos and is 3 kilometers from the town. The coastline is named after the ancient basilica, located directly on the beach. From here you can take a photo of the church of St. Nicholas on Castries, clearly visible from the shore. This panorama is the hallmark of Kos in many guides.

Beach description
Tourists named Agios Stefanos beach "colorful". On the coast there is a half-broken basilica of St. Stephen with old-fashioned mosaics.

- a low-level, gentle and safe, low-water base is covered with sand, which is valued by those who come to rest with small children.
- There Are not many Tourists here, so it is suitable for those who prefer a couple of privacy or vacation.
- the pipe sometimes brings the garbage here, but, carrying it with a pouring back, leaves the water clean.
- the wind does not allow waves to run at sea.
Because the beach is still semi-surprised, it is better to get here by car. For the car there is a spontaneous parking. Follow the road leading from Kefalos and turn right onto the road, it descends to the beach.
When is the best time to go?
Greece - a country with a long length from north to south, so the recommendations will vary depending on the place where you are going. The holiday season begins in May and reaches a peak in July-August: there are too many tourists, and the temperature on the southern islands reaches 40 degrees, which may still not play a role on the beach, but certainly not suitable for sightseeing. So the best time to relax in Greece is the end of spring-beginning of summer or September-October.
