Car corfu hire in kassiopi

Kassiopi:

The very pretty circular harbour is a lovely place to while away some time and, as Kassiopi is still a working fishing port, it's an interesting one too.

Steeped In history, Kassiopi's fascinating past goes way back There was a prehistoric settlement and a Corinthian pity here long before the Romans and later the Venetians moved in.

Kassiopitissa Church stands on what is said to be the site of a temple of Zeus near the harbour Built in 1590 it contains a fascinating painting of a boy who was blinded as a punishment for stealing some wheat with two friends. He took refuge in the church where he only discovered his sight had been miraculously restored when he saw the church candle go out. Take the path opposite the church's bell tower and you'll find yourself at a ruined Byzantine fortress. The entrance, almost hidden by wild flowers, leads you to a vantage point offering spectacular views over Kassiopi's bay and up to Mount Pantokrator Set sail at sunset to tour past the pretty bays of Kalami, Kerasia and Kouloura then stop for dinner in Aghios Stefanos on the east coast.

Greece is famous for its handmade lace and embroidered cotton - and there's lots of choice at Agathi's Lace Shop. You know the exquisite lace and embroidered tablecloths at Aleka?s Lace House are the real thing because you can watch the women at work as they make them. The lace tablemats are a real bargain. Find it on the east of the harbour mark. Herbs and spices, olive oil and gifts - the large Kiros supermarket has everything. The smell from Nikolas Bakery is so wonderful that tourists and locals alike queue up to sample its delicious chocolate doughnuts and savoury ham and cheese croissants. The Underground Shop has all sorts of souvenirs - from chessboards with hand-painted pieces to wooden jewellery.

Uncle Simos is a restaurant with history! A Mediterranean kitchen including traditional Greek dishes - everyone is welcome. At Janis the hospitality and the excellent food is not just a myth. The combination of sea - sun - unique and delicious dishes will make you have an unforgettable romantic time. Bustling and busy, Kassiopi Star offers good value set menus and delicious mezedes like filo pastry parcels filled with spinach and mussels. It's set back from the harbour, opposite the supermarket. You'd never know today that Limani's used to be an ammunition store for the Germans during World War II. It's now a pleasant place on the harbour's edge for a simple snack, ice cream or after-dinner drinks. Porto is one of Kassiopi's oldest restaurants and fish is its speciality. Try the bourdetto (chunks of fish in a tasty sauce). You'll find it on the harbour near to The Travel Corner. Three Brothers on the harbourside offers great service and traditional food - including an excellent choice of Corfiot specialities plus fresh fish and lobster. To get away from it all for a moment, make your way to Time Out and find the pretty patio garden above its main bar. The views ace stunning - of both the harbour below and Albania in the distance - and you can take it all in over a sandwich or game of pool.

Wish your local pub could be transferred to the middle of Kassiopi? Look no further than Angelos. Actress Joanna Lumley was once spotted in the Harbour Bar and no wonder. It's a lively venue playing music from the 1960's, as well as more current hits, and also has a pool table and satellite TV. You'll find it on the harbourside near Aleka's Lace Shop. Party till late at Illusions, an English-style pub which boasts Scouse DJs, chart and house music and karaoke. It's on the corner of the harbour square. By day, Visions Music and Cocktail Bar is a laid back cafe but at night it comes alive. It's on the main street, almost opposite the main square.
