Overview:

Dassia is a twin resort with Ipsos, a mile to the N. It lies on both sides of the broad and busy main road, with much of the accommodation in the small roads leading towards the beach. A well-developed tourist area although the winding main road is badly lit at night and has inadequate provision for pedestrians. Dafnila is in a secluded, thickly wooded area, half a mile away.

Locality:

Dassia is situated on the E coast, facing Albania and the Greek mainland, 8½ mls N of Corfu Town and airport. It is positioned on the flat, narrow coastal strip backed by verdant wooded hills.

Entertainment/Facilities/Attractions/Things to do:

Dassia is suited to all ages, but particularly young groups and couples under 35. Accommodation is varied with campsite's, rooms, studios, hotels. Somewhat unusually for Corfu, there is a preponderance of larger holiday hotels, rather like the Spanish costas.

The beach here is long and has a very narrow stretch of gently sloping shingle and pebble backed by olive and pine trees. Flat aquamarine water, ideal for water-skiing and well-equipped for water sports; swimming platforms.

Shopping caters only for local needs, with many beach shops, minimarkets, leather and jewellery shops; otherwise visit Corfu Town.

Entertainment consists of all water sports; parascending, water-skiing, pedalloes, banana boats and boat hire. By night there are many bars, two discos and Greek dancing in many of the thatched tavernas provide variety.

A variety of local excursions are available including Greek village trip; boat trips to Paxos, mainland Greece and Albania; and mountain bike trips to Paleokastritsa and Corfoit countryside.
