Discover more about Kassiopi

Kassiopi, nestled on the northeast coast of Corfu, is a captivating blend of history, natural beauty, and modern Ionian charm. Once a vital Roman port and a strategic Byzantine stronghold, this village has evolved into a popular tourist destination, retaining its traditional character while offering contemporary amenities. The village's history stretches back 3,000 years, with evidence suggesting it served as a supply post during the Roman era. Roman emperors like Nero frequented Kassiopi, and the village thrived due to its strategic location. In the 5th century, the Temple of Cassius Zeus was converted into a Christian church, Panagia Kassopitra, which still stands today. The Venetians further fortified the Byzantine castle, the ruins of which offer panoramic views of the harbor and the Albanian coastline. Kassiopi's picturesque harbor is the heart of the village, lined with waterfront restaurants, cafes, and bars. Visitors can stroll along the harbor, enjoy fresh seafood, and soak in the stunning sea views. Small boats offer excursions to nearby beaches and hidden coves, allowing for exploration of the coastline. Several beaches are within a 10-minute walk of the harbor, including the popular Bataria Beach with its turquoise waters and pebbled pathways. Other nearby beaches include Pipitos and Kanoni, offering a more secluded and tranquil experience. Beyond the beaches, Kassiopi offers opportunities for hiking and exploring the surrounding hills. The path to Avlaki Beach is a popular walk, offering coastal views and passage through olive groves. The semi-abandoned village of Palia Perithia, located 12 km northwest of Kassiopi, provides a glimpse into Corfu's past.
