Corfu MapPaleokastritsa – As Pretty As A Picture

A relaxing family resort situated on Corfu's North West coast, this is probably the island's top beauty spot; cradled by steep wooded mountains and overlooking a sensational bay of deep blue water. This is a really friendly place too, so you'll feel instantly at home. There are plenty of cafes and bars to explore and good shopping too. Nightlife is very relaxed here but there's a good choice of bars, tavernas and some excellent seafood restaurants.

Dassia – Come On In, The Water's Lovely!

Dassia is a lively place, popular with couples, groups and something of a Mecca for water sport enthusiasts.

Enjoy the views across Steno Kerkiras to the mountains of Greece and Albania or explore the local area by bike (it's nice and flat!) or by car. Take the small inland roads through peaceful olive groves and discover a more traditional, quieter Corfu full of villages that time seems almost to have passed by. Elsewhere Dassia offers a fine golf course and a pony trekking centre too.

Although it isn't sandy, the beach at Dassia slopes gently into the sea. The sea is usually very calm here and there's a splendid selection of watersports on offer. This is an excellent place to swim and you could always hire a boat to explore some of the more out-of-the-way coves that dot the coastline.
