Liana Apartments

Just got back from a week at the Liana apartments.  The room was very spacious and clean and of a much higher standard than I expected it to be, which was lovely!  Self-catering facilities consisted of two electric hobs and a fridge, but all the utensils you could possibly need were provided and I managed to do quite a bit of cooking. 

we have just ventured back from skala, kefalonia on tuesday having spent the memorable duration of 7 days at the liana apartments, and BOY what a time we had!

Beach - spectacular

Resort - fun packed

Accomodation - clean as a whistle

as for recommendations.......we found siroco (restaurant) and captains (bar) and mythos beer(yummy) are a must!

highly recommended to YOU, yes thats right, YOU

yamas! (cheers in greek!!!)

We've just returned from a weel in Skala at the Liana (late May, 2006).  I'd read a lot of these comments before we left and was a little nervous about what we might find when we got there - but I have to say, it was fine.  OK, so the little hotplate is no good for cooking, but we didn't use it anyway - we ate out everynight as it was so easy to do there.  The apartment was perfectly adequate, and cleaned several times during our stay - we had no trouble with loo roll either.

We stayed a week at the Liana apartments in October 2005.  Although basic, the apartment was very clean and quiet (not much traffic at night in October), which is good as we had a balcony overlooking the road.  The top floor has quite nice views out to sea, with stunning sunrises.  The water was nice and hot and the bathroom adequate.  There was plenty of room for the two of us, however, there was a third bed in the room and if that had been occupied, it would have been a bit cramped.  The cooker is really only good enough for making tea or coffee, but Skala is a great place to eat out.  The fridge was excellent, and looked fairly new.

The Liana is in desperate need of regular cleaning and changes of towels, bath mat and bed sheets. During our fortnight, the towels were only changed twice and the bed sheet once. The bath mat could only be described as disgusting and we discarded it into a dark corner after a few days.The floor of the apartment and balcony were only mopped twice and I don't think that any cleaning material or hot water was used. Toilet rolls were pinched from the store cupboard downstairs as they weren't replaced and the electricity kept going off. We were shown by another guest were the trip switch was but it was a little inconvenient going down the stairs to keep re-setting it. There is a lot of noise day and night as the apartments are situated on a busy junction and there is building work going on up the hill, therefore a lot of lorries taking materials to the site travel past on a regular basis. Not many locals give way at the junction so there is a lot of screeching tyres and revving of engines late into the night. The location at the top of the hill doesn't seem too bad at the start of the holiday but after walking up the hill two and three times a day in the heat, it becomes a chore. Skala is a lovely resort with a lot of lovely bars and tavernas. Hire a car and get around the island to visit other resorts, especially Fiskardo and Assos. We did the island tour and the Ithaka trip which were both brilliant but book them through CBR and not through your rep. Works out much cheaper. If we ever returned to Kefalonia, we would stay in Skala but definitely not at the Liana.
