Talking about safety in Kefalos is almost unnecessary because this tranquil and charming town doesn't have any dangerous areas. It's consistently calm and peaceful, and the vigilant Kefalos police are always on duty.
However, it's wise to remember some basic precautions: keep your valuables with you, avoid leaving important items in plain sight in your hotel room, exercise caution on the beach, and exchange currency only at banks and official exchange offices.
The peak tourist season in Kefalos, which falls in July and August, also coincides with the hottest period of the year. To prevent overheating, it's advisable to seek shade or relax in your room and stay hydrated during the hottest hours, roughly from 13:00 to 16:00.
During the transition into and out of summer, evenings might bring sudden temperature drops, increasing the risk of catching a cold. It's essential to use sunscreen, especially in the milder sun of May and June. Additionally, be cautious near the shore, as there might be sea urchins or stingrays, and in September-October, you may encounter jellyfish (avoid touching them, as they can cause irritation).
In April-May, the area sees the blooming of pine trees and some grains. If you suffer from allergies, it's a good idea to carry antihistamines with you.
