Dassia is an atmospheric, lively place, popular with younger couples, groups and water sport enthusiasts. Dassia is 9 miles from Corfu Town on the east coast of Corfu with views across the sea to the mountains of Greece and Albania. A holiday in Dassia can take full advantage of the exceptionally lively youth resort of Ipsos which is a short and beautiful walk along the coast. From Dassia regular buses and taxis run to both Ipsos and Gouvia, another lively, busy resort. Dassia also has plenty of varied and inexpensive nightlife of its own, but is less intense than its famous neighbours. Popular Dassia beach is long, quite narrow and a mix of shingle and pebbles. The water at Dassia beach is exceptionally calm and flat.
