In Kefalonia, we stayed in a small hotel in Skala and enjoyed the nice calm beaches in the area. Skala was very beautiful and had some great views and beaches. Shops were as expected, tourist items. We found the best restaurant in all the island in Skala, a great Italian restaurant close to the chemist, in the centre of the village. Maybe you should spend a few days in Skala and a few days in Argostoli to get a balance of secluded and a more town atmosphere.
Kefalonia generally has a safe and warm friendly atmosphere, extremely low crime rate, inspolt villages, reasonable nightlife without any rowdy and unruly people. Eating out is a pleasure, every meal is a delight of well presented and great homemade cooking. Taverns are intime, with delicious Greek food and of course Greek music. Most of the taverns and bars are situated near the sea, so the tourists can admire the game of the waves. Drinks in beach bars are presented in a professional manner, chilled and correctly served, not thrown together as at some resorts. Most people spoke English, which was very helpful.
