It’s a beautiful island ❤️

Hi, yes there was an exodus of boats as we were sat in the square having a frappe. It was so peaceful. What a beautiful town.

Hi, no, we didn’t visit those places this time. There’s so much to do on Kefalonia it’s hard to do everything in one visit and still leave time for chilling! Did you have a good time when you were there?

I made also an video, we were there 4 days

So sorry to hear that you had a bad experience at Veronica’s Amanda.

I agree Amanda

So do we ❤️❤️

They are both absolutely stunning islands and we love them both having been to each many times over the past 30 odd years. Both have stunning beaches and amazingly beautiful scenery but they are quite different due to their difference in size. Skiathos is really tiny in comparison to Kefalonia. So if you like everything handy and close by, all pretty much accessible by bus, Skiathos is perfect. If you like to get out and about and drive around, Kefalonia gives you the ability to do that. I couldn’t choose a favourite because I genuinely love them both.

@@ciderfromalemon7658 thanks for the reply, we’ve been to skiathos twice and love the place, in fact we’ve just came back from there last week, we fancy Kefalonia next year for a change and was hoping it was similar to skiathos

Hi Dave. Although they are different, I don’t think you’d be disappointed by Kefalonia. The people are friendly, there are loads of different resorts to choose from, all different, beautiful scenery and wonderful beaches. There’s also loads of history there if that’s your thing. Having been to 14 Greek islands and being an absolute lover of all that Skiathos is, I’d have no hesitation in recommending Kefalonia.

@@ciderfromalemon7658 Sounds like it’s our type of place , thank you

You’re welcome Dave. Happy to help if I can

Thank you so much for your very kind comment. You can’t help but be happy there can you? You never know, we might see you there this year! ✌️

Thank you for your comment, glad we could help! Have a wonderful time in Kefalonia in July. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do. What have been your favourite Greek islands? ✌️

Thank you so much for your comment. It’s so hard to say which is best because they are so different. We really love them both. But if you like watching airplanes land close up, Skiathos is definitely the place ✌️

Thank you for your comment. You’re very welcome, so glad you like the video. Hope you had a wonderful time in Skala ✌️

Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed the video. Have an awesome time next summer ✌️

Thank you for commenting. We love the beach where you’re staying in Troulos and there are some really nice places to eat there. We’ve stayed there a good number of times. We’ve also stayed in Kolios. Skiathos town is beautiful and a must visit day and/or night. Only a short bus or taxi ride away. Or getting a water taxi into town from one of the nearby beaches at dusk is also amazing. We’d also recommend hiring a car for a couple of days to visit the beaches at Mandraki, Elias Mandraki and Agia Eleni (the latter for the sunset). That said, you can get to those 3 beaches by bus and a bit of a walk if you don’t fancy hiring a car. A boat trip from the town to Skopelos and Alonissos is also nice and you sometimes see dolphins. These are a few of our favourite things to do. It’s one of our absolute favourite islands and whatever you choose to do, we hope you have a wonderful time✌️

@@ciderfromalemon7658 brilliant thanks. Your video highlights were great and helped us decide to go to skiathos when we saw it

Oh wow, that’s amazing! So glad we could help. We hope you enjoy the beautiful island as much as we always have done.

@@ciderfromalemon7658 well we were due to go on 7th but was cancelled due to the floods that happened the day before. What a nightmare for the island and the people. We have rebooked for next though so fingers crossed for that

Next year

Hi and thank you very much for your kind comment. Lovely to hear from Austria. Hope you have a wonderful time in Kefalonia! ✌️

Hi, thanks so much for your comment. We really love Skala. The main street you can see at the start of the video has a really good selection of bars and tavernas and there are also a good number of really great ones down the streets that come off the main street too. There are also bars and tavernas both ways on the front too facing the beach. It’s quite a compact place Skala so really easy to explore and find places that suit your taste.

Brilliant. Thanks for the response

No problem at all, hope that helped. If you’ve got any other questions, I’ll be happy to try to answer them. Hope you have a great holiday in Kefalonia ✌️

I haven’t been( yet) but I have foodie friends who adore Mikelatos Restaurant, family run, great food, wine ,service,atmosphere.

On this trip our favourites were definitely The Old Village and Manor House. Ta Pitheria was also really good.

Thank you so much for your kind comments. We hired a car from DiffeRent in Skala while we were there this time. You can see the office from the view from our balcony at the start of the vlog. Just popped in 2 days before and ordered it. You only need your driving licence. We got an Astra (it was random) for 2 days and it cost €100. We’re going back later this year and we’ve hired a car for the whole trip (8 days) from the airport for £155 with Jet2. So much cheaper in advance I think. The roads are really good, much better than we have experienced on other islands, signposting is fine and parking was no problem wherever we went, including Argostoli. I would 100% recommend getting a car and seeing more of this beautiful island. ✌️

Ah fab, thanks for your speedy reply 😀

Hi We came home a few weeks ago, before the heatwave. We were there in the middle of June and it wasn’t too busy at all. It is a really beautiful island. Hope you have a lovely time when you visit.

Great to see family(I presume) holidaying together. I’ll be there with my wife and another couple in four weeks,none of us have been to Kefalonia before, looks great! Just a suggestion, you need to look happier( joking). Entertaining and informative video( unlike a lot of the self indulgent crap that’s posted).

Thank you so much for your kind comments about our video. Yes it was a family holiday and we had an absolute ball as you can hopefully see. I’m sure you will love your holiday in Kefalonia, it is truly beautiful. Have a great time! ✌️

Wow that was some experience you had on the island!

Thank you for your kind words about the video, glad you liked it. Skiathos is a gorgeous place isn’t it? Have a lovely holiday next year x

@@ciderfromalemon7658 cheers me dears.🍻👍

So do we. Hope you had the best time.

We’re with you Vera xxx

Thank you, we’re really glad you like it. Have the best time at the end of August. It’ll be like you’ve never been away. Promise 🙏

@@ciderfromalemon7658 Thanks so much. Yes, Greece is that home from home feeling, even more so in Skiathos 😎

Me too xxx

I want to come with you
