guide to Kassiopi hotels in CORFU

The charming town of Kassiopi is set in a pretty location. It is backed by Mount Pandokrator, which is strewn with flowers in the spring, and boasts a picture-postcard harbour flanked by shingle coves and pebbly beaches. Despite recent tourist development, it retains all the atmosphere of a picturesque fishing village. Kassiopi located approximately 36km north of Corfu town and the airport, the resort has excellent amenities and really does have something for everyone

During it's long history (281 B.C.and after) Kassiopi faced periods of glory and power - with it's own currency workshop, the strategic-situated harbour, the castle (kastro) and famous visitors such as Nero the emperor of Rome - till it was destroyed by the Venetians and completely deserted by the Turkish during the invasion of 1537. Today Kassiopi is a famous tourist resort with thousands of dedicated visitors every year, a unique combination of a traditional greek fishing village at the day time and a long night out after the sun goes down. If you have the energy, climb Mount Pandokrator, for some of the best views in the world. Go as early in the day as possible to avoid climbing during the midday heat. Kassiopi is blessed with a wealth of history and was once a holiday destination for wealthy Romans. There are several ruins and churches to explore.
