Skala in Kefalonia

The increasingly popular resort of Skala lies almost as far south as you can get on Kefalonia. From Argostoli it is about 35 kilometres to Skala.

It is a quite large tourist resort with many tavernas, restaurants, cafes, bars and shops. Skala is increasing in popularity thanks to the lovely beach that stretches for several kilometres along the coast. The beach consists of a mix of sand and gravel and is in places wide as a Roman legion.
