✓ Manually calibrated shoreline

The orientation of the shore and the shelter of the bay were checked one by one on the map for every beach — they are not derived automatically.

Skala is a long, organized beach on the eastern coast of Kefalonia. Its sandy shore stretches for kilometers, with pine trees reaching the coastline. It offers comfortable facilities and calm waters, thanks to the partial protection of the bay. Ideal for families and those seeking organized holidays.

Wind & waves: when to go

The beach faces southeast. With northwesterly winds the air flows offshore and the water near the shore stays flat; with southeasterly winds the sea builds up waves onto the beach. The coast is exposed to the open sea, so conditions change quickly with the wind.
