Been to scala in the first week of May 2005, thoroughly enjoyed it. So much, that we are going back again this year, admittedly last 2 weeks in May, when the weather is guaranteed to be hotter. Weather last year was sunny but cool in the evening, but still too cold to venture into the sea. Scala is a quiet resort but with plenty of bars/restaurants. Definitely a family/ couple destintation without the usual crowds.If you are going for a week -treat it as chill time, if you are going for 2 get out and see the island - there's loads to explore. Really nice people, good food and very relaxing. You won't be disappointed unless you are a bit of a disco diva/ lager lout!

 

Stayed at the Tara Beach, Scala. Beautiful grounds and very friendly staff, very quiet and relaxing. The only downside was the room. Had a great view but the it was was damp and plastered with pebbledash - felt like the Count of Monte Cristo! (you'll know what I mean if you stay there). Couldn't stand it and have now booked to go elsewhere. Breakfast rubbish too. Nevertheless, don't let me put you off! Pool great, resort wonderful, island magical - going back this year so it couldn't all be bad, just staying elsewhere.
