About Kassiopi
Kassiopi is a traditional Greek fishing village surrounded by hills that has grown into a tourist resort almost gracefully. There are little side streets to walk along with small tavernas and shops. The small harbour and jetty are very picturesque. There are daily boat trips and many pleasant walks. Kassiopi is about 35 km from Corfu Town. Visit the Byzantine fort or take a boat trip. The busy little harbour always has a few fishing boats in and often you will find people fishing. Easy to find and well worth a day out.
Kassiopi has a long history that goes back beyond Roman times when Tiberius built a villa there. Nero is another emperor who visited Kassiopi. Very little evidence of this survives today however and all that is left now is a very pretty sixteenth-century church and the ruins of a castle on the hill.
Take the path opposite the church’s bell tower and you’ll find yourself at a ruined Byzantine fortress. The entrance, almost hidden by wild flowers, leads you to a vantage point offering spectacular views over Kassiopi’s bay and up to Mount Pantokrator.
Kassiopi is not renowned for it's beaches but there are small ones nearby. Kassiopi still retains narrow winding roads which are great fun to explore or there are several nice walks that take you into the hills. Many of the trips available from other Corfu resorts come to Kassiopi. The harbour often has boats from all over the Mediterranean stopping for short visits as well as the local fishing boats.
Corfu Island
On this cosmopolitan island, you will be able to combine relaxation with good times and a full nightlife, for Corfu is an international tourist centre which can satisfy the demands of the most difficult visitor.
The old town of Corfu is a warren of crumbling Venetian style buildings.
Locals gather on the spianada a vast green space where they play cricket and the Liston, a 19th century arcade sheltering a string of cafes.
Also Corfu town is the best place to shop for souvenirs.
Typical mementoes include kumquat, olive oil, objects carved from olive tree wood, olive oil based cosmetics and local wines are also good buys.
