Kassiopi provides a picturesque culmination of the coastal experience. Still dominated by a huge fortress built by the Romans (legend has it that Nero stopped there), the village is situated on a bustling sheltered harbor, where many and happy hour can be spent in one of the colorful waterfront bars watching the fishermen preparing nets.

The once tiny fishing village of Kassiopi has still managed to retain its original charm despite being an ideal resort for those wanting active beach holidays. Presiding high over the town is an ancient Venetian castle, from here make your way down the rugged paths and you will find yourself in the prettiest fishing harbor on the island. Tiny boutiques and colorful taverns cluster around the waterfront, where everyone meets up for dinner before moving on to sample the numerous bars and taverns. Explore the rocky passage across the cliffs and you will discover a number of shingle beaches and a large bay, where all the usual water- sports are available. There are also a couple of public swimming pools, which charge an entrance fee.

Kassiopi has blossomed from a tiny village into a bustling cosmopolitan resort with something for everyone. The energetic can revel in the nightlife while; those who prefer a slower pace can relax by the waterfront.
