Kamari Bay is situated at the southwestern end of the greek island of kos. It is a popular tourist destination. The bay is overlooked by the ancient cliff-top village of kefalos (Greek: Κέφαλος) and is often referred to as Kefalos Bay or Kefalos Beach. The village of Kefalos (sometimes spelled Kephalos) was once the island's capital, but after a devastating earthquake around 400 BC, a new capital was established at the town of kos, on the other end of the island.
