Kassiopi Beach - Korfu / Corfu Island in Greece (Griechenland) 1/2

Uniquely on this coast, as well as the ubiquitous "tourist shops" and every kind of eating and drinking facility, there are banks with cash machines, doctors and pharmacies, internet cafes and supermarkets, a school and a church (where sightseers are welcome, as long as they respect the traditions), travel agents and a police station.

Motor boats, which can be driven by children or adults during the daytime only, are available for hire by the day or week, at prices from 70 Euros (US$90) per day. Excursions run daily from the harbour to all parts of the island, and via Corfu Town to Albania.

The road runs through the edge of the town, and a loop takes buses as far as the village square, some 229 m (250 yards) from the harbour. In an attempt to alleviate the traffic density that occurred around the harbour, a Car and Coach Park is provided at the top of the town. A free 'Land Train' operates a daytime shuttle service between the car-park and the Harbour, with various stops on the journey. One or two taxis (which run 24 hours a day all over the island, and also function as ambulances) are based here. Both town and country are very safe, at all times of the day and the crime rate has remained consistently low for the whole north-east coast.

Kassiopi liegt in einer Bucht und ermöglicht durch seine Nähe zum Festland einen direkten Blick auf die Berge Albaniens und Griechenlands. Der Ort liegt nicht wie beispielsweise Acharavi oder Sidari an der Inselhauptstraße, sondern hat parallel zur Hauptstraße eine eigene etwa 500 Meter lange Ortshauptstraße, daher ist der Ort stark verkehrsberuhigt. Von den 2787 Einwohnern des Gemeindebezirks leben etwa tausend in Kassiopi selbst. Nördlich von Kassiopi liegt das Kap Akra Kassope.
