Kassiopi

Kassiopi is a fishing village on the northeastern coast of Corfu; and a municipal unit of the Kassopaian region. One of the most popular tourist locations in northern Corfu, the village is known for its charming coastal vibe and Ionian architecture. The small bustling town of Kassiopi is set around a horseshoe-shaped scenic harbor and is overlooked by a Byzantine castle’s ruins.

Kassiopi is the largest village in Corfu, with an unspoilt harbour despite the number of tourists it attracts. Usually a popular day trip, Kassiopi is studded with adorable cafes and restaurants, souvenir shops and turquoise waters. Kassiopi has much less to do and is preferred by tourists looking to unwind in a quaint coastal region. Numerous beaches are located a 10-minute from the harbour, towards the old town. Bataria Beach is particularly famous for its turquoise vistas and pebbled pathways.

The village’s history can be dated back centuries ago. A whitewashed church from the 16th century of Panagia Kassopitra stands on a block behind the waterfront. The peninsula is lined with olive trees, eucalyptus, and cypresses and laced with five rather tiny beaches. The semi-abandoned village of Palia Perithia lies 12 kms northwest of the village of Kassiopi. The town is also known for its authentic tavernas and locally produced honey. Adventure sports lovers can visit the bay of Avlaki, a 20-minute drive from Kassiopi. The beautiful bay is known for windsurfing and sailing. Kassiopi is ideal for those who want to explore the north of Corfu island, those who want good nightlife and those who enjoy a boat trip.
