Dassia is conveniently located on the east coast of this tantalising island, just 14km from Corfu town.
It faces Albania and the Greek mainland - on a clear day the views across the Ionian sea are dramatically beautiful.

Dassia is on a flat, narrow plain right beside the sea, backed by lush, tree-covered hills. It is a busy, active resort that likes to wake early and stay up late. During the day, make the most of the shingle and pebble beach - after a refreshing swim in the calm sea, lie back, relax and let the sun slowly warm your skin and soul. Watersports are popular, including waterskiing, banana boats and boat hire.

Dassia is popular with couples and groups of friends who want a little bit of nightlife and a lot of atmosphere. There are many bars, tavernas and a couple of discos, playing anything from traditional Greek folk songs to the latest chart hits. Don't forget to pack your dancing shoes. You won't go hungry in Dassia - there are a good selection of eateries to keep you satiated including an abundance of pizzerias and snack bars.

There is a long, narrow shingle beach which shelves gently into the warm waters. It is backed by olive and pine trees that rustle relaxingly in the sea breeze. Dassia reputedly offers the best watersports in Corfu, and the flat water is particularly excellent for windsurfing.

Choose from the wide range of tavernas, snack bars, pizzerias, beach bars and restaurants in Dassia. They can mostly be found either side of the busy main road, but some of the smaller side streets offer quieter, more traditional atmospheres. Order some olives for a starter - they may even have been picked from the trees in Dassia resort.
