Advantages: Quiet, Relaxing, Close to Shops & Beach Disadvantages: Hilly Landscape
...Have you seen the film? If you have, you would have had to have fallen asleep to notice the beauty of this island!
Kefalonia is one of the small Greek islands, offering picturesque scenery, clear blue seas and not to mention peace!
One of the hotels on the island is the Princess. It's located about 25 minutes from the airport and is only 300 meters from the nearest shop / supermarket. The beach is located at about 500 meters.
You only have to look at the pictures (http://www.princesshotel.gr) of the hotel to understand where you'll be staying. A small hotel having only 40 bungalow style rooms means you won't be bumping into hundreds of people! It has a large pool with enough sun beds for nearly every guest.

Advantages: Friendly, peaceful, scenic, excellent value Disadvantages: Might be a bit too quiet for teenagers etc.
...I've been to Kefalonia three times, most recently in 1999, and have booked again for 2001. My partner Jayne and I have been to various other Greek islands, but Kefalonia is our favourite and the one we keep going back to. We stay in a resort called Lourdas, on the south-west of the island, and I recommend this for anyone wanting a peaceful, tranquil beach holiday.

...Pelagos Bay has been the best holiday I have ever had! Billy,Barbara,Yanni,asthper made our holiday!
This was not my usual type of holiday but we have booked later in the year
Pelagos Bay Hotel is 4km out of Scala centre about 20mins pleasant walk, I suggest a taxi for the return journey! Tip ask the driver before hand how much it should be no more than 5 euro.
Book yourself in for the bbq night on thursdays and Sean plays mondays (very good)
If you want proper greek kebab ask Billy or Yanni they will order them in for you
Breakfast is simple toast coffee cornflakes but what more do you want? The snack bar is excellent! Try the bannana pancake and the greek mezza is good for 2 lunch
Everyone speaks very good english and make your stay very pleasent.
Air con in every room only works with the patio door shut...

During my recent perfume hunting expedition (due to twice-a-year craving for a change) and this really stands out for me. This is it for me at this round and I believe it'll keep me going for a while until the next time I crave for a new fragrance.
