We visited the bar (me and my girlfriend) and thought it was the most upmarket restaurant in skala, however we decided to go there for a special meal on our holiday and were shocked to find that the food was actually cheaper than the other restaurants and the portions were much larger, enjoyed the food so much and the price we ended up coming back every night for the rest of the holiday!

I visited kefalonia this year and went to pikiona for dinner and ended up coming back most nights as it was beautiful food at suprisingly low prices compared to the town tavernas.

We visited Skala 4 times with a three year gap between the 3rd and 4th visit for those first 3 years we went to this bar alot but when we went this year we were very disappointed. A waiter stormed up to us with a menu and as soon as we said we only wanted a drink he stormed off with a misserable look on his face but saying that they all did. We ordered some drinks and stayed there for a bit we decided not to go in the pool so me and my dad played bat and ball the back. While paying for the bill we noticed the drinks were quite expensive. More expensive then what we had payed at other places. Over all i believe it isn't as good as we thought it was from past years.

would not go here if somebody paid me! we went twice during our holiday and both times thought the service and the manager of the place was awful. the first time we went we played pool for two to three hours, we wanted an ice cream but they didnt have any. we then went next door to our hotel to buy one and when returning to the pikiona - finishing our ice creams, we were asked to leave! talk about daylight robbery. the meals are pricey and so are the sunbeds and pool area. staff look miserable (and i cant blame them with the owner of the place),  the manager is as utterly unreasonable and miserable as possible. i would not suggest anyone visit this place!

Gret for during the day by the pool , the staff could do with cheering up a bit though !!!

didnt really go to the pikiona during the evening but during the day here was the place to be. im not really one for the beach so when kat suggested we go here for the day well i think i can say we spent most of our holiday here. ok i agree the food isnt much and yeah a little over priced but for everything else we couldnt fault it in anyway. its clean and tidy, the staff where spot on as kat says, music all day while relaxing by the pool, its brilliant, ben

We were really looking forward to our meal here, the place looks amazing particularly in the evening. However it turned out to be the worst evening of the holiday and the worst meal we have ever had at any restaurant. When we arrived we were told we were late even though we had arrived on time, there was only about four tables occupied so couldn't really see an issue anyway. We were told that one of the starters we ordered was not available only when the other three were brought to the table, so it was too late to order another, with no apology. The food was terrible, the meat dishes had large pieces of gelatinous fat and gristle in them. The deserts were equally disastrous, we ordered brownies and nearly broke a tooth on several hard large pieces of walnut shell. When we told the waiter he said that occassionally shell does get in to a desert and we were just unlucky! Despite only eating one spoonful it remained on the bill at the end of the meal. The waiting staff are arrogant in the extreme and made no apologies for the terrible meal. It may be we were just unlucky with our waiter or they were having a bad night but compared with several other excellent restaurants in Skala we visited this was a huge dissapointment - particularly as it was around double the price of any other meal we had during our stay.

We ate here on one evening and really liked it. Slightly different from the normal Greek taverna, and the food was delicious. Nice setting and lovely wine list. Our most expensive meal when we were there, but it was well worth it. The service was very good as well.

Pikiona was the best place to visit in Skala. The bar is trendy and very relaxed. We spent more or less everyday sunbathing around the pool and had lunch there several times. The food was excellent both at lunch and in the evening and we would recommend this bar to anybody. On nights the bar/ restaurant is very quiet but ideal for a relaxing drink. The staff were all freindly and made us feel welcome, definatly a top bar and definatly worth a visit both day and night.

Well what can i say ..... ? apart frm this is definatly the place to be day and night ~ A brilliant pool wiith excelent serivce from the waiter espeacially ian and sunniva  they will make u so welcome and at night the resturant is first class  , fantasic food and serivce it was probably one of the best meals i had in skala its defo worth the walk down just of the main street ~ try it ~ u will be impressed
