Description

There still exists a purity of experiences in this world, and you can find it here in Southwest Kos. Experience the scenic beauty of Kefalos, discover the authentic island character and explore uncharted routes on this heart-pumping off-road excursion. 

Have the inside track from the top local insider unearthing gateways to an unseen world by the comfort of premium 4x4 chauffeured vehicle at your disposal. Venture from backroads from village to village to see the Kefalos through the eyes of a local. Get off the beaten track and follow archaic trails in the Island of Hippocrates embraced by ancient forests, wild vegetation and immaculate beaches.

Our day begins after picking you up from your hotel we follow an asphalt route to Plaka forest, where our first stop will take place admiring the pine forest and the fabulous peacocks. Continuing our day escape and heading towards Kefalos, we follow an off road route around Kefalos and enjoy the best panoramic view of the island from above and we learn about local cultures and histories. We discover hidden chapels, secluded bays and beaches, we admire wild vegetation and we enjoy the most scenic views of the Aegean Sea and the islands of Nisiros, Kalimnos, Giali and Astypalaia. Continuing our road trip to untouched by tourism areas we reach the Chapel of Agios Theologos with the unique secluded non organised sandy beach and the amazing crystal clear waters. A short stop for photos and relaxation in the area around will follow. We continue our day exploration through a unique coastline uncharted route with many surprises and breathtaking views until we reach Agios Mamas Chapel at west part of Kos in an altitude of 200m. The views are breathtaking and its the ideal spot for panoramic pictures of Kefalos cape town and Kos.  After a route full of memories, adventures and unique non touristic places that only a 4x4 drive vehicle can approach we reach Kefalos Village for our lunch stop in a local tavern.  Local dishes and Greek flavours accompanied by the renewed Greek hospitality fulfil our day escape.  After our lunch stop our day comes to an end driving back to our hotels through an asphalt route full of memories, exciting adventures, breathtaking panoramic views of non touristic Kefalos and insight information about the island.
