Set among lush green hills and offering stunning views across the Ionian Sea, Dassia is an up and coming resort, busy and active and perfect for families or groups of friends. Whether you are looking to relax on the beach, get active or get out at night, a holiday to Dassia offers all you might be looking for, and more.
What to do in Dassia
Dassia is the place to visit if you are looking to spend time in the sun, getting active and joining in. Dassia offers the best water sports in Corfu and, although the calm, flat waters are particularly good for windsurfing, activities available range from scuba diving and banana boats to water skiing and private boat hire. If you do decide to hire a speedboat, you can sail around the Corfiate coast, discovering and exploring the hidden coves and beaches that make the island special. If activities on land are more your thing, however, the town offers an excellent golf course and a pony trekking centre for those looking to slow down and get back to basics.
Corfu is the place to go if you are looking for beautiful beaches and the local beach at Dassia is no exception. Although not a sandy beach, the long stretch of pebble and shingle stretches the length of the resort, gently sloping down towards clear blue seas and offering some of the safest swimming waters around. If you are intent on finding time for sun, sea and sand, there are numerous beaches within easy reach of the town, all of which offer a little slice of paradise under the Grecian sky.
Food and Drink in Dassia
Dassia boasts a lively restaurant scene, offering anything from traditional Greek and Corfiate cuisine to British, Chinese and Italian restaurants and bistros. Although it would be a shame not to experiment with the local delicacies- pastitsada, a Corfiate speciality with an Italian touch, is very popular in this area- you can rest assured that, whatever you are looking for, you will not go hungry.
If after-dinner entertainment is what makes your holiday go with a bang, there is also plenty on offer in Dassia. The town offers a relaxed and laid-back night-time scene, boasting a wide variety of bars and traditional tavernas, along with two lively disco bars that are open until the early hours. Light sleepers and early risers need not worry, however; Dassia is not a party-town, and if you prefer to turn in early you will not be kept awake.
