I'd say Jacks is about a 10 minute walk to the main road which has quite a few bars and restaurants and then about another 10 minutes to the top end of the harbour road with more bars and restaurants.

I've never really been bothered by mozzies - a few bites over the years - we always use a plug-in in our room and use a spray before we go out for the evening.
 
Trips to zia can usually be booked through your rep (probably more expensive) or through Kefalos Tours (along the main road) or Aslepkion Tours (on the harbour road). There are two types of trip one with a Greek night and another which just drops and picks you up from the village. We normally do the latter - it cost 18 euros each at Aslepkions this year - picked up from near Jacks at 5pm - reached the village at 6 and picked up again at 9. Gives you time to wander around, have a drink and then a meal - we use Oromedon restaurant which has fabulous views from the various terraces. Bit of advice, it can get busy in there and we usually reserve a table at the front of the terrace when we arrive and go back to eat at about 7.30.
 
Enjoy your trip!

Cigarettes were about 3 euros for 20 but a lot of the smaller shops like Babis and anthoula's (spelling) next to the mayflower had no stock of B+H and other popular brands when we were out there a couple of months ago. Exchange rate for sterling travellers cheques was about 1.16 euros at Kef Tours but that will obviously vary on when you go and the current exchange rate

Hi Susan and hi Rob!

Thanks so much for the information.  I've been without a computer for a while so apologies for the delay in getting back to you.
We're off to Kefalos in 3 weeks - can't wait! We're planning to hire a car and do a bit of exploring so thanks for the information about that.

We have been going to Kefalos for many years now and Kontessa is a very fine place to stay.  It is in a very good location for all the resorts bars and restaurants.  Highly recommend Sebastians for good food, And for car or bike hire go to Manolis car hire and see Katie she is English and very helpful they do very good deals. Acropol bar next door to Sebastians is a very friendly bar and George and his family will make you very welcome there. Hope this helps your stay ENJOY
