I recently had the pleasure of visiting Corfu for a weeks holiday. I was travelling there with my other-half and so wanted a town that was couple friendly and didn't have the crowds of nearby Sidari or Kavos.
Kassiopi seemed like the ideal destination on this sun-drenched Greek isle and I would certainly consider venturing out there again after a holiday that was both surprising and uber relaxing.
Kassipoi is a quiet harbour town situated to the North of the island of Corfu. The focal point of the town is the small harbour where local fishermen regularly bring in their freshly caught aquatics. You will also discover that this is the best area in the whole of Corfu if you would like to explore the island by boat. A multitude of trips depart from Kassiopi ranging from glass bottom boat tours to beach hopping full-day trips where relaxation is the order of the day.
You will find a multitude of tantalising Greek bakeries near the main square, along with scuba centres offering a range of courses for beginners and experienced divers alike. If you'd like to take in the sheer beauty of the town, you can climb to the top of Kassiopi fortress. The walk is short if a little steep, but well worth it when yo get to the top.
The windy, souvenir-shop-filled roads of Kassiopi are ripe for exploration and you will discover that the restaurant options are amongst the finest on the island. Kalamionas beach is a shingle beach located just down the road from the port. Being shingle, you may find it tricky to get comfortable with just a towel, but if you're willing to pay a little extra for a lounger this will not be a problem.
Alternatively you can find your own beach by renting a quad bike or moped and venturing further afield. There are a range of nearby villages and towns that are more than accommodating.
Book now before prices get to high by visiting a reputable holiday provider such as direct-line holidays.
