Chalfont Holidays

The village of Assos was our favourite discovery on the island. We lunched by the harbour, and then climbed to the castle. Our guide book recommended that you go up the main track and enter the castle by the top gate: that was easy, you cannot go wrong there. Then they said you leave by the lower gate and follow the footpath back to Assos: but gave us no instructions on how to find the lower gate. Eventually we discovered it: it is behind the end of a series of low buildings which you will pass on your left, well before you get to the new development at the bottom of the castle area. Although the path back is good, and offers wonderful views over the sea to the South, you do need a good head for heights.

Assos is a small and charming village. Assos can be found 36 kilometres from the capital of Kefalonia. It has about a hundred inhabitants and is one of the most picturesque and beautiful villages of the island. Dominated by the ruins of a 16th century Venetian castle, the village of Assos was built on a small peninsula that has the same name. Its traditional and charming atmosphere is created by the hospitality of its inhabitants, the traditional architecture, the narrow alleys and the excellent little taverns perched on the quayside that overlook the bay.
