Electric Fat Bike Self Guided Tour Discover North Corfu

One of the island’s most unique places to visit on the island. A Village of Venetian origin that was once a hideaway from pirates, was all but deserted, reclaimed and protected by nature. Since 2010 it’s been lovingly and gently coming back to life.

The place is a small temple dedicated to Apollo in the grounds of Mon Repos on Corfu. Mon Repos is a villa, now a museum, famous as the birth place of Prince Philip. Princess Sissi, the empress of Austria also stayed there before she built her palace, the Achilleon. The villa is surrounded by overgrown woods where a lot of excavation work is being done. The gem comes at the end of the walk. The temple of Apollo, overlooking the sea whose sparkling waves can be glimpsed through a wall of mature trees. It was once a bustling place, a hive of activity, of worship and industry. Now remnants of its twelve columns lie scattered in the dust.

Kassiopi (Greek: Κασσιόπη) is a fishing village on the affluent northeast coast of Corfu, Greece. It is in the municipal unit of Kassopaia. Historically a small traditional fishing village, its surroundings have largely been developed with luxury villas. Kassiopi remains a summer social centre heavily visited by tourists, particularly popular with visitors from the United Kingdom and Italy. It has nice restaurants and cafes. You also can visit the old castle.
