Assos - resort guide and tourist information

Assos Resort description

Assos Resort Photo

If you travel south from Fiskardo down the west coast, before you get to Myrtos Beach take the right hand turn following the signs for Assos and Assos castle. A series of hairpin bends takes you down the peninsular to the bottom where you will find the romantic village of Assos.

Almost as if it's been stuck in time, a village square with a few tavernas a small harbour with turquoise water lapping gently at the shore. Higgledy-piggledy houses all jostling for room around the waters edge. This is the place to come and while away the day and do nothing, except sample the local wine, nibble on the fish caught that morning and just soak up the tranquillity and peacefulness that is Assos.

A couple of independent tour operators have studios for rent here but it is a picturesque village not a resort of any kind. Certainly worth the day trip or even just a stop off for lunch.

If you’re feeling adventurous you can drive up the dirt track to the castle on the hill at the end of the peninsular.

To be honest the castle is not much to write home about but the views are spectacular.

More information on Assos

A recent flurry of building activity has sprung up around the outskirts of the village, make the most of a trip there, one day soon it might not be quite the place it once was..

Assos the Good
The fabulous scenery, quaint old architecture with its montage of coloured shutters and doors and its sleepiness and tranquillity.

Assos the Bad
The road down some find can be a bit scary, not a place to come and stay with kids they would soon get bored.
