Private day tour
Kassiopi
Kassiopi grew around a small harbour in the north-east, where the coast of Albania is only a few kilometres away. Above the boats, the walls of a Byzantine castle cover the hill.
Why go
The road there is half the reason to go: it runs above the sea past Barbati, Nissaki and Kalami, where Lawrence Durrell lived in the White House in the 1930s. Kassiopi itself has pebbly coves for a swim and tavernas on the harbour.
What to do
- A walk around the headland, past the coves
- The castle walls above the harbour
- Fish by the water in the harbour
- A stop at Kalami on the way
Good to know
- About 50 minutes from the town.
- The road has many bends: tell us if anyone gets car sick.
