Skala, Cephalonia

Skala (Greek: Σκάλα) is a village located in the municipal unit of Eleios-Pronnoi, some 39 km south from the island's main town of Argostoli and 14 km SW of Poros, in the south of Cephalonia, one of the Ionian Islands of Greece.

The original village was located on the hill behind the present one, as many of the island's were, in order to avoid invasion from raiders and pirates during the previous centuries.

On the edge of the present village is the remains of a 3rd-century Roman villa with some remarkably well preserved mosaics.

Multi coloured beehives can be seen dotted around the fields and hillsides, producing Cephalonia's thyme flavoured honey.

Buses link Skala with the island's main town Argostoli, twice in the morning during the summer months - this reduces to a single service during the winter.
