[@jbrislen1]

At last!! Footage without continuous music. I love to hear the real sounds of Greece in the background 👏

[@trustmeimgreek]

Glad you like it! Thank you

[@Reidy-tonicrecords23]

Skala..love it. Ill be back.

[@christinamichael2043]

Hi George,I'm a new prescriber. I enjoyed your video. Coming out to Kefalonia in June. I'm so excited. I'm a Greek Cypriot,I love the greek islands too. I'm going to keep watching. Yiasou 😊

[@trustmeimgreek]

Thank you 🙏

[@jasso1833]

Thanks for the video! I am staying here soon and it’s so lovely to watch videos like this to see where to go, rather than just reading reviews. Ace!

[@trustmeimgreek]

Thank you! Its my first one so happy you found it useful! Have a great holiday!

[@theunion6983]

Nice video George! Keep us informed on your wonderful trips!

[@leonardhillman5565]

Evening, very nice first video , we are travelling out to Skala this Thursday 14th July for our first visit, been to many Greek Islands over the years but never to Kefalonia, Corfu is our normal go to island , over 20 visits since 1987 ! 😃 will definitely try out Mikelatos and Soctrates on the basis of your review, thank you.

[@trustmeimgreek]

Ah thank you very much for your kind comment! Hope you enjoy your time in Skala! Say hi to the guys for me when you see them ❤️

[@Reidy-tonicrecords23]

Id move there in a heartbeat.

[@trustmeimgreek]

Hey all hope you enjoy the video! Please Let me know in the comments what you think, your experiences going to Skala and any suggestions for the future! ❤️ (Sorry for the shaky walk through the video and at the start, was trying to avoid videoing public plus first video…. I know its wobbly) but so happy got those interviews, miss the place!

[@AmimanTravels]

Great video, your visit to Mikelatos Restaurant I saw Jimmy but didnt see George ??? was that his son you interviewed

[@trustmeimgreek]

@@AmimanTravels that was Nick I interviewed

[@stevekohler2490]

Great video best one so far for Skala we’re travelling out there next week

[@trustmeimgreek]

Awesome Steve, thanks 🙏 glad you like it! Enjoy your holiday!

[@franks1849]

Hi George, new subscriber here! :) i love your videos and they make me miss kefalonia! Can't wait to go this summer. Are you going this year as well? I would love to see more vids, keep up the great work!

[@trustmeimgreek]

Thank you 🙏 Yup going back after a break this year

[@TEG221]

Just came across your video. oh man what do i miss this place. i hope to go again asap!

[@trustmeimgreek]

It is awesome 🤩

[@DavidTaylorChesterWebDesign]

Great video thank you so much

[@trustmeimgreek]

Hey David, glad you found it useful! Happy holidays!

[@christinamichael2043]

Hi George. Love good food. Do you have to book a table ? 😊

[@trustmeimgreek]

Always best to avoid disappointment but if you are lucky or dont mind waiting you should be fine. Mikelatos is the only one we went to where we prebooked as is very popular

[@kaprunski]

Great video. I'm staying in Katelios on Sunday for a week. Can you get a bus to Skala and how often do they run?

[@trustmeimgreek]

Hi Steve cant say for sure as we rented a car but i have seen that there is a bus that goes from Skala to Argostoli and has a stop at katelios. Not sure if this runs for the whole day though but you can always get a taxi. Sorry couldn’t be more helpful

[@kaprunski]

@@trustmeimgreek hi thank you for the response, I think I'll hire a car and see a bit more of the island. Cheers

[@trustmeimgreek]

Definitely worth it!

[@trustmeimgreek]

Hey Steve, forgot to say but if you are staying Katelios check out my other video as well where i show places to go near Skala that includes Katelios

[@kaprunski]

@@trustmeimgreek OK I will have a look. Ideally I wouldn't have chosen Katelios as I think it's a bit quiet but as a last minute it was all I could get. Definitely want to see more of the island though 😀

[@bp9605]

George, you need to get a video stabiliser. I was looking forward to watching the video but only minutes in, it was making me dizzy.

[@trustmeimgreek]

Yes i know sorry about that I now have one. Its just at the beginning and if you forward into the video should be better

[@bp9605]

Ok, I’ll do that. Skala is also one of my favourite places

[@jimmyntee]

Motion sicked outta this 🥴

[@trustmeimgreek]

I know at the start sorry, but give it a chance as have couple great first interviews after first intro. 1st video but got more stable episodes as i progress and learn!

[@cathpalmer8753]

Spent more time looking at the floor than the places to see!

[@trustmeimgreek]

Fair point, was trying to avoid recording people in case they had an issue. First video but has some good interviews of places to visit too. Thanks for your feedback

[@aviatoru44]

Salut! Cu ce program editezi.

[@paulamccarthy8197]

Hi would you say skala is ok for people in a mobility scooter and walking difficulties please

[@trustmeimgreek]

Hi there are areas where you could use a mobility scooter. Some areas however may be limited into venues as may have stairs. I am no expert but would say there are certainly options if you can get to places by car to start with. Sorry cant be of any further help.

[@paulamccarthy8197]

@@trustmeimgreek thank You

[@christinemullen6420]

Sorry to say we did 2 weeks in Skala a few years ago never had one decent meal so disappointed

[@boxing8831]

I’ve been going to Skala for 25 years, I personally know the locals in this video, Chris from the jewelers, Nick, George, Jimmy and Athena from Mikalatos and many other locals, this is possibly the worst video of Skala on the internet, you bypassed all other restaurants apart from Mikalatos by filming the floor, very disappointing..

[@trustmeimgreek]

@@boxing8831 thanks for the feedback. The video is showcasing our experience and what we enjoyed. We showed more restaurants we liked, not just Mikelatos. The video is meant to give a starting point for newcomer’s to Skala. I am sure, people can make their own choices from there but in our opinion, at the time, these were our top!

[@paulamccarthy8197]

Is it expensive to eat out there and drink

[@trustmeimgreek]

Hi Paula, theres something for everyone! I would say it is fairly priced, depending where you go

[@susieq4917]

I’m sorry but we have been to skala numerous times and none of these Videos state that it’s not safe for children as far as the bathing is concerned it’s very steep when you go into the sea. I think it’s not always about food families want an honest review

[@trustmeimgreek]

Hi Sarah, in Skala area by Milos is not steep according to other guests. Having said that, its different for everyone so please share where you found it easier. I will suggest Katelios as an area that might be more suitable but please take this as a suggestion from us as everyones needs are different. Take care

[@user-ug2ho4ku4m]

Just a heads up if you want shallow waters for children,have a look at Katelios , very safe and great tavernas 😎

[@greeksymphony8665]

Probably paid .. didn’t even mention the good ones ..

[@trustmeimgreek]

Nope, this is not paid advert by any of the venues, as described in the video my friend! We paid every meal! Which ones would you recommend?

[@paulscaife7677]

What a biased Video. I could tell you a number of places to go. What utter rubbish to say you are not sponsored. I have been to all theses places with a good outcome but could tell you many other places

[@trustmeimgreek]

Hi Paul, it is not sponsored at all I promise. We loved the places we went to but these stood out for us! As I clearly state on my description, please share any positive experiences you may have. This channel is for me sharing my experiences and where I think are nice based on our journeys so far. As I say there are many beautiful places in Kefalonia and Greece overall but these have made fond memories for us. We enjoyed it and thus thought to share!

[@garyroberts3859]

Too long, Too boring, too wobbly, too much looking at George , too many interviews….take all that rubbish out and it could have been a 5 minute video .

[@trustmeimgreek]

Thanks for the feedback Gary, sorry bout the wobbly bits am aiming to upgrade my kit soon for better videos! Re interviews, wanted to give an inside view of the restaurants but all feedback is appreciated! Thanks
