Dassia near Corfu Town on the island of Corfu in the Ionian islands of Greece
Dassia on the island of Corfu in Greece, was one of first villages on the island to be developed as a resort. Its main pull is that it gives guests the best of both worlds: proximity to Corfu Town, which lies just a 10-minute drive away, and a peaceful beachside location. It has grown into a low-key, family holiday destination, straggling both sides of the busy main road joining Corfu Town to the northeast of the island. Dassia Beach is about 200m (650ft) long and 15m (50ft) wide, and has been awarded a Blue Flag for cleanliness. Like all the beaches on Corfu's east coast, it is composed of pebble rather than sand. There are sun beds and umbrellas for hire, plus watersports facilities, and the calm water is said to be particularly good for water skiing. It lies just a 10-minute walk from the busy main road, and is backed by two smart, modern, 4-star hotels (the Dassia Chandris and the Corfu Chandris) at the south end, and by a string of bars at the north end.
