Map & location


Skala, Kefalonia, Greece

Perched on a gentle hillside above the Ionian Sea, San Giorgio Hotel sits just outside Skala on Kefalonia’s tranquil south-east coast. You’re close enough to dip into Skala’s tavernas, bars and 3km sand-and-shingle beach, yet far enough away for peaceful evenings listening to cicadas.

Porto Skala beach lies about 300m away, with views across to mainland Greece and chances to spot turtles in the wider area. Skala’s old-village ruins and the ancient Temple of Apollo are a short drive up the hill for a slice of history with your beach break.

  • • Porto Skala beach 300m
  • • Nearest shops, bars & restaurants 1.4km
  • • Waves Beach Bar 1.6km (free hotel transfer for included dinner)
  • • Skala resort centre 2.7km
  • • Kefalonia Airport (EFL) 2 hours by road
  • Approx. transfer time from airport 2 hours

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


There’s a choice of three outdoor freshwater pools, plus a separate children’s pool, so everyone has space to splash or snooze with a view.

• Large main pool with sunbathing terrace and loungers
• Infinity-style pool overlooking the sea
• Children’s pool for younger swimmers

Inflatables are permitted, which is ideal for families. Sunbeds surround each pool, making it easy to settle in for lazy days under Kefalonia’s blue skies.

For a change of scene, wander the short distance down to Porto Skala beach. This sand-and-shingle cove is classic Kefalonia – clear water, rugged coastline and a relaxed feel – and a great starting point for exploring the island’s coastline by car or boat.

The All Inclusive set-up also helps you keep track of costs.
How far is San Giorgio Hotel from Skala resort centre?

Does San Giorgio Hotel have Wi-Fi?
Yes, free Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel, including public areas and guest rooms. Signal strength can vary slightly depending on your exact location, as with many island properties.
Are there many steps or a steep walk at San Giorgio Hotel?
The hotel is built on a hillside with multiple low-rise blocks, so there are some inclines and steps around the property, and the walk down towards the beach is gently sloping. This setting delivers lovely views but may be less suitable for guests with very limited mobility. If this is a concern, speak to our Travelisto team for tailored advice.
Is there entertainment in the evenings?
Yes, during the main summer season (typically 01 May to 09 October), San Giorgio Hotel offers a programme of regular evening entertainment such as karaoke, quizzes and live music. The schedule can vary by day and season.
What is the dress code at San Giorgio Hotel?
The atmosphere is relaxed, but the main restaurant usually operates a smart-casual dress code in the evenings. Beachwear and swimwear are not generally permitted at dinner. Light summer clothing and flat shoes are recommended due to the hillside layout.
