The small fishing village of
Kassiopi is on the north eastern tip of Corfu, about 22 miles from Corfu Town.
Kassiopi is reached by a winding road that leads around the foot of Mount Pandorkrator with views over to Albania, Kassiopi is an attractive, colourful resort.The narrow main street is lined with a wonderful variety of tavernas and bars, shops selling locally produced lace and crocheted items, and small mini markets.
The brand new white walled, red roofed villas have sprung up all over
Kassiopi and are dominated by the ruins of an ancient old castle. When the Romans took over the island in 227BC, it was a natural stopping place on sea routes, and many famous people are believed to have visited the village including the Emperor Nero. There are four beaches within Kassiopi which are all small and pebbly. The numerous bars and the Passion nightclub give the resort a considerable appeal to young holidaymakers. There is a local bus to Corfu town throughout the week and once on a Sunday. The journey takes about one and an half hour.
