Skala

The resort offers plenty of shops and tavernas to service holiday-makers and their families but not so much as to satisfy groups after a thriving nightlife. Things here take a more casual and quiet approach. A little further on, lies Portomaki Beach. This is now considered to be a conservation area due to the inhabitants being rare loggerhead turtles. Visits during the night are organised so as to minimise the disruption to the turtles' natural habits.

Heading to neighbouring towns, villages and onwards to Argostoli or Poros and there is the chance to discover ruins, visit museums and more. In fact the site of a former 7th century BC temple of Apollo lies close by. Coastal walks, lovely scenery, good beaches that are ideal for the younger ones, and a pleasant atmosphere for a typical seaside holiday, Skala continues to remain popular.

It is worth noting that there are plenty of excursions enabling you to tour most of Kefalonia during your stay.
