DASSIA
Corfu is small enough to be friendly and large enough to provide a never-ending change of scenery.

Located just 10km north of Corfu Town on the east coast, Dassia is situated along a pretty stretch of coastline and has everything to offer all ages. The long stretch of pebble and shingle beach can be reached by various side roads leading off from the main road that runs through the resort. The beach gently slopes to clear shallow waters and is ideal for swimming. Although the beach is fairly narrow, the hotels that line the beach have plenty of sunbathing facilities set in gardens. Dassia has excellent water sport facilities with water skiing, scuba diving, paragliding, boat hire, bananas and ringo's to name but a few.

The resort has an abundance of quality restaurants ranging from traditional Corfiot and Greek cuisine to Chinese and Italian. For those on a budget you can get a good three course meal and sample quality Greek cuisine for just a few pounds. The Greeks adore children and they are more than welcome in most bars and restaurants.

Evening entertainment is relaxed and laid back. There are enough bars to keep everyone happy, but Dassia is not a lively nightclub resort. There are no night clubs as such, but some bars stay open fairly late and there is a bar/disco that stays open until the early hours of the morning. However Ipsos, where the late night party people head for, is the next resort along and only a short taxi ride away.

Kassiopi, a lively and picturesque resort, is famous for its lace industry. Acharavi and Roda share the island's longest stretch of beach.

Sidari, a hive of activity on the north west tip, is famous for its amazing cliffs. The west coast offers some fabulous sandy beaches and pretty resorts such as Agios

Gordis and Glyfada. Paleokastritsa arguably has some of the best views available anywhere in the world. The south also has its fair share of fine beaches and Lefkimmi, the capital of the south, is the second largest town on the island. Benitses is a unique resort combining lazy days with lively nights and Messonghi and Moraitika have something to offer young and old alike. Kavos, last but by no means least, is definitely the place to be for sun and fun.
