About Assos
Assos is a small and charming seaside village located on the northwest coast of Kefalonia. Built around a beautiful natural bay, the village is famous for its colourful traditional houses, lush green surroundings and calm turquoise waters. Visitors can walk along the picturesque waterfront, enjoy coffee or traditional Greek food at one of the local tavernas and swim at the small beach in the heart of the village. The peaceful atmosphere makes Assos an excellent choice for couples, families and travellers looking for an authentic Kefalonian experience. Above the village stands the historic Venetian Castle of Assos. A scenic walking path leads to the castle and offers impressive views over the village, the bay and the Ionian Sea. Comfortable shoes and water are recommended, especially during the warmer months. Assos is also located close to Myrtos Beach, making it easy to combine both destinations during the same day trip. The road to the village offers beautiful coastal views, although drivers should take care on the narrow and winding sections. You can visit Assos by rental car or arrange a comfortable private transfer from Kefalonia Airport, Argostoli, Fiskardo and other locations around the island.
