Close to the malls and mini-marts of Kato Paphos, Kefalos Damon is a sociable cluster of apartments around a courtyard pool, where kids will easily make friends. Apartments are basic but modern, kept cool by their tiled floors; some have corner sofas and decent-sized kitchenettes. The pool, with its bar and terrace, is a pleasant spot to hang out, but if you get bored you can always dip into the facilities at the sister hotel, 10 minutes around the corner.
