| Just returned from Skala once again after a 4 year gap, and it's just as beautiful as we remember.
There are so many good places to eat, love Milos Beach Bar for lunch and the Aquarius at night, also White Horse and Kaliva.
The beach is outstanding, with 2 sunbeds and a parasol for 6 euros.
Also walking along the beach road after a meal is lovely

Went to Skala last year and am going again in July, not usually one for going to the same place twice in consecutive years however Kefalonia and Skala had to be the exception. Of all the greek islands I have been to, Kefalonia is by far my favourite. Skala has it all, great restaurants, great excursions, a few souvenir shops, the odd bar, great beach and water sport activites and no late night discos or anything like that. Perfect. So if you want a relaxing holiday, Skala has everything you could possibly need.
I would also like to add that the beauty of Kefalonia is the island on a whole and usually when you go on holiday there are certain resorts that you should ignore because they have been spoilt and lost their tradition and character (Laganas in Zante being the first that springs to mind). Kefalonia is different, I am yet to visit one resort in Kefalonia that has been spoilt. I only hope that this remains.
Skala, a beautiful place on a beautiful island. |

2001, 2002, 2004, 2007 and now 2009........ just brilliant! Excellent accommodation, tavernas, weather, the lot.
We just hope that it doesn't grow too large or get too commercial. Worrying signs of expansion out towards Poros. |

| I can't really say much as we only paused briefly here - the beach is superb but it is the 2nd busiest place on Kefalonia after Lassi, so not for us. Too many discos and bars! |

This is the very first time we visited Kefalonia and we booked at the last minute.Understandably we were anxious if this is a nice resort suitable for us with 2 teenagers.It was great and we were glad that we stayed in Skala.A biggish village,quite lively with a lot of people.Slightly uphill to apartment.No complaint at all.On the second last day of our stay,there were 2 ATM operating!!A great resort to go to indeed. |

| We were in Scala 19th June until 3rd July and the cash point was not working for the whole of the time! It was inconvenient but we used our credit card to pay in Solomos supermarket and most of the restaurants without any problems.
Have agreat holiday, sure you will! |

| For Gill Williams
Last visited Skala in 2005, and then there was only one ATM in the main street if I remember correctly. Before we went I looked on this site and then there was a comment that occassionally the ATM may not be working, so to be on the safe side we took a mix of cash and cards and travellers cheques. Depends where you are staying, we stayed at Aeolos and they changed up our Euro travellers cheques. If you are at one of the larger hotels you shouldn't have a problem. There is an earlier comment if you scroll down, that says there is a shop opposite the ATM in Skala that will change travellers cheques. If you go on any excursions/trips to larger towns you should be able to use ATM's there without problem. |

| Can U Help? | gill williams (June 10, 2008) |
I am due to fly to Skala this summer, can anyone give me advice on the best way to change money whilst there. Is there a well stocked ATM in the village or am I better placed taking travellers cheques ? Thanks |

Kim Dainton - We are coming to Skala for our 6 year on the 9th September, We absolutely love the place. Our first 3 visit to Skala were in the 1st too weeks in October, the weather was ok. On the sunny days it was lovely but you do get rain in October, mainly in the second week. You can wake up it's tipping it down and a hour later the suns out. |

As of 7th August all bars etc were open for business, there was no damage to properties around Skala. The fire damage outside and on the edges of the town was severe, with fire damage from the hills right down to the coastal road. Quite a lot of the people staying were evacuated for one night so it must have been bad. However, at no time did this spoil our holiday and having arrived 4 days after the event (31/7) the whole event was a distant memory for the locals and they did not discuss the fire. In summary, nothing to worry about.
