On holiday me and my fiancé Dave are not the type of people who like to stay in one place and just explore that area, instead we opt for the more adventurous path of getting out and seeing the sights. When given a relatively small island like Corfu we couldn't help but just pinpoint a place on the map and just go not knowing what it will be like. This is how we ended up in Kassiopi and it was quite a pleasant day we spent there.
-----
First impressions:
... ...pleasant to be honest and then the sign for Kassiopi kind of takes you by surprise and diverts you from the main road. When we drove into Kassiopi we thought it was very quaint and I did not think there was anything there as we were driving down these small winding streets that were so long. Also as you are driving around Kassiopi there is not much room for pedestrians and cars so we were panicking about where to park.
When we got out of the streets ...

Advantages: All you need for a family holiday. Disadvantages: Winding roads.
A couple of years ago I took my mother, wife and daughter on a package holiday to the Greek island of Corfu. A thoroughly enjoyable two week holiday.
Arrival:
Moving through Corfu airport was relatively quick and we were soon aboard our coach and bound for the sea side resort of Kassioppi located in the north east of the island. Transfer:
The 20 miles or so from the Airport to Kassioppi is via small winding coastal roads. Inevitable problems passing ... ...Weather in June:
On our journey from the Airport the clouds opened and the rain fell. Boy did it fall. The deluge lasted a mere two or three minutes and virtually flooded the road. However, once the rain stopped so did the flood. This weather is not untypical in early June.
Kassioppi:
Most holiday accommodation is within a ten minute walk of the town centre and small fishing port. The town is packed with restaurants, bars, pubs and shops, including ...

Advantages: Lovely location, friendly people, excellent food. Disadvantages: Can have heavy rain even in the summer months
Myself and my family have been to Kassiopi three years running.
It is a lovely little fishing village, full of very friendly greek people. The main street in the resort is full of bars. they range from karaoke bars to quit bars where you can just go for a quiet drink.
In the time that I have ben there, there has never been any trouble.
Not really a place for young children as there is very little to do for them.
My special needs daughter really ... ...is a must for everyone. They have live greek dancing everynight by the owner and some of the locals.
it is so popular that you have to get there early to get a seat.
The highlight of the night is when Cost does his act he dances with a table gripped in his mouth with two stools on top. You need to see it to believe it. Somewher you need to take your camera to.
There are some very good taverna's as well especially the "three brothers fish one.
