The main beach of
Kassiopi is pebbles. The small town square is dominated by big-screen TVs offering football, disco bars do thump until dawn and karaoke bars do offer free shots for the get-drunk-quick teenagers - but it is all done on a smallish scale and nowhere near as dreadful as places like Kavos. There's still room for more traditional tavernas and quiet bars and regular visitors emphasize the relaxed friendliness of the locals. It has a pretty waterfront but much of
Kassiopi village is thick with shops selling tourist tat. There are two large minimarkets and a couple of smaller ones. Four beaches, nearby Kassiopi, are reached by footpath from the headland but none are particularly good. In the main beach of
Kassiopi there are showers and toilets. The others have no facilities and sea urchins infest the rocks but is a pleasant taverna on the headland. Better beaches can be found to the south at Avlaki and Kogevinas - about 20 minutes drive.
Boats trips leave from Kassiopi harbour daily for Kerkyra (Corfu town) and other beaches along the coast. The ruins of a castle overlook the harbour but there is not much to see as it was dismantled by the Venetians in the 14th century, though there have been some recent attempts at restoration.
