I bet that local Greek guy who was at the Romanza was at the Perros Greek night. He seems to go to them all, small guy, going bald with a bit of a sweep over hair style! Think he's something to do with the study of Greek music.....always stands up and conducts!! Someone must know who I mean. If anyone sees the posters around the village for the Manthos Greek night, he's sat at the front!!
I do wonder what he thought at the last Romanza greek night when we were all stood on chairs, singing from hymn books (well the menus!) and belting out just one Cornetto!!

Kefalonia was expensive, I guess it's still Captain Correli Mandolin effect!! Although in San Stef we had usually had 2 starters, 2 mains and a litre of wine for our meal and it was circa 28 - 32 euros.....I recall it being around the same in Kefalonia although there wasn't as many Tavernas doing the 8/9 euro specials that EVERY Taverna did in San Stef!
I did think Skala reminded me of San Stef in the respect that there's a few Tavernas along the beach and the rest set back from the road along a couple of streets/roads. Similar size/number of Tavernas too.
I agree Corfu is more green and lush but I guess the downside is the weather! We went to Skala 2 years ago a week later than we went to San Stef this year. The weather was 40c every day and we didn't see a cloud!! It was heaven!
We did the island tour whilst there and like you, found Assos to be gorgeous. Fiskardo was also very cosmipolitan and Sami was amazing! We only went through Lassi to visit Argostoli and it looked a bit more 'British' than Skala, pubs etc.
The island of Ithica was also gorgeous, this is where Homer was meant to have wrote the 'Odyssey'......watch out for a sequel from Jimbo soon!! I also liked the WW2 history still scattered round the islands
My wife wants to return to the Nine Muses in Skala but I want to have another couple of weeks at the Romanza!! I guess I love them both!!!
