Hands down the best restaurant in Skala and the only one we found that served authentic greek cuisine, rather than the disappointing restaurants on the main strip
Ate there twice and each time was amazing, very reasonable too with great service |

The food here is very good and we have eaten here countless times, but we were disappointed after the 'run-in' we had with the owner and subsequent treatment by the up-till-then very welcoming staff - see my comment under the Accommodation heading. It seems they don't take into account the fact that you are good customers both in terms of spending a lot of money in the taverna and on the hire of the rooms (via Olympic) above. It's a shame that the experience we had with the owner and his accommodation means that we won't be back, even to eat. |

We've been to Skala 3 times now and this has to be my favorite Greek Taverna. Make sure you try the daily specials which are good value for money and very authentic.

This is an excellent family run restaurant. You are made to feel very welcome and everyone obvioulsy works very hard to deliver great food and service. We have been going to Greece for years and I have to say they did the best mousaka I have ever tasted! Another restaurant not to miss in Skala!

I was in Skala from 16/06/2009 untill 30/06/2009, I had not been there before , and as my background is Greek , I was able to ask the greek residents where the resturant was that cooked the best Greek food and was directed to the Socrates.
I have to say that I ate there every day and every greek food I, my mother and Grandmother cooked over the years was made at the Socrates, I would say one evening that i liked ,say, Egg and Lemon Soup with meatballs, Gouvalikia, and the next day it arrived !!!!!!!
All the food was feshly made from Soctates own family farm, veg ect.and the quality of the food was only out shone by the service from all the staff infront and behind the scenes.
It was also very obvious that 70% of the diners where regulars and where treated like family as I was.
I would return to Skala only for the experience of returning to the Socrates.

| Penny you seem to contradict yourself! On one hand you say there was little choice, yet on the other you suggest you would have eaten there again?
I take it from your other comments elsewhere on this site that you are a veggie. Whilst I agree that any restaurant menu favours us flesh eaters, that's simply because there's more of us who are likely to turn up each evening. Nevertheless, the Greek Taverna menu probably favours the non eating meat type far more readily than in other countries.
Socrates I know can accommodate the swede basher admirably, particularly if you ask before you order.
Anyway, thank you all yet again at Socrates Taverna for two weeks this past October and we will see you all in 2009.

We only ate here once as we were a little dissapointed, however the staff were godo and the food was good. There was very little selection. If we had not discovered another retaurant that we preferred we would have eaten here again |

Just returned from Skala and unfortunately only discovered this delightful family run restaurant towards the end of our holiday, but were hooked immediately. My wife suffers from Coeliac disease and cannot eat Wheat, Flour or Gluten. The staff could not have been more helpful and instantly recognised the condition and provided a comprehensive list of food for my wife to choose from. The food that we ordered was wonderful and the best that we had eaten on the island and very reasonable too. We particularly recommend the Dolomades and Beef Stiffado, which are freshly prepared by the mother.
Both Staff and owners were extremely friendly with a high quality of food and atmosphere that you’d expect from a good Greek taverna. Thank you very much to you all and dont leave it too late!

I visited Kefalonia many times between 1993 and 1996. I found Socrates Restaurant before it was as well developed as it is now. However the comments i have seen just echo the many marvelous times that was spent there. I recall spending many a night, after eating having a Brandy with Dimitri, being woken in the early hours of the morning by him to go shooting in the mountains, and then following it on with spear fishing. In between there wa breakfast served by Dimitris mother...bread and olive oil.
The family have all matured, married etc but i have many fond memories of the holidays and perhaps will return. It is apparent that they still provide a marvelous service.
Regards to you all |

 Ate at the wonderful Socrates Taverna over the first two weeks of June. The food and hospitality are the very best and you only have to read my past comments to appreciate that this is somewhere very special.
Will be back again for another two weeks of heaven, last week in September, first week in October - see you all then |
