We have been to Scala four times in the last 8 years and stayed at different hotels in the village.  We first went on our own then with our twin boys and last time our little girl joined us. We love Scala and have noticed the odd new bar and find that it is getting the commercialised taint about it, because we like the quiet beach holiday when we return in September 07 it may be our last time to Scala but not Kefalonia, as we love the island. We are due to stay in "The Pines apartments" this time and wish to know wether it gets to smelly from the restaurant below or if it gets to loud in the evenings.  I would rate Scala as quiet beach lovers holiday and reccommend it to anyone young or old (if it stays exactly as it is at the moment).  I feel that the village could not take any more new developments (bars or hotels) as it would spoil that typical Greek village atmosphere and loose its charm.  When we first went I would have rated it 10/10 and now would rate it 8/10 due to the extra bars.
