An established tourist resort which started life as a fishing village, but now offers every type of holiday facility. Despite the huge influx of summer visitors, Kassiopi remains very much a working village. The harbour is very picturesque and the ruins on the headland date from Roman times

The locals spin, weave and dye thread by hand. Rugs, hand-made lace and embroidery are specialities. A number of smartish clothes shops have also sprung up.

Eating out: From tavernas to sophisticated restaurants, including Italian and Chinese
