Old Skala village was destroyed by the 1953 earthquake, as were most parts of Kefalonia. The new Skala village was rebuilt around 1956, and it now offers a 3 km sandy and pebble beach, many accommodation options, shops and a shopping center, restaurants, and bars. If you’ve come to Kefalonia to stay in a luxurious seaside hotel, relax on a wide beach with multiple amenities, and explore nearby villages and beaches, then Skala is the place for you.

For instance, at the end of Skala Beach, you will find the secluded Spithi Beach, where you can go on foot or by car.

Saint Gerasimos is the patron saint of Kefalonia, and apart from the main church in Fragata village Skala also has a church worth visiting, especially to admire its interior. Moreover, you will find the Roman Villa of Skala within a short walking distance from the church. The 3rd-century Roman Villa has well-preserved mosaics, and it was discovered by accident in 1944. The excavations began in 1957, and the impressive mosaics are really worth seeing. Keep in mind that you should better visit the Romain Villa between 10 am and 3 pm; otherwise, you will probably find the gates locked.

If you want to do some more sightseeing, then head to the 6th-century BC Archaic Temple of Skala, located just 3 km north of Skala's main village. Unfortunately, the excavation site of the Temple of Apollo is not really well-preserved, so you will only find the ruins of the buildings and some columns. Nearby there’s St. George’s chapel and the beautiful small and quiet Porto Skala Beach. It is an excellent beach for snorkeling, relaxation, and exploring nearby hidden caves, such as Sakkos Cave, where you can only go swimming or by boat. Evidence suggests that the cave was occupied from prehistoric times.

After your swim, you can enjoy a traditional Greek lunch in a warm and family atmosphere at Old Times Restaurant, situated just above the beach.
