Kassiopi
Κασσιόπη
A fishing village with a small harbour on the north-east coast, featuring Byzantine castle ruins, a coastal path around the cape and several clear small bays.
Kassiopi was already a port in Roman times. Restaurants and cafés line the harbour, and the peninsula has the remains of a Byzantine castle (free to visit). Walking the cape path takes about an hour. You can go down to the pebbly coves of Bataria and Kanoni to swim, and the east shore looks across the sea to Albania. It is about 36 km from the Old Town and served by intercity buses. In summer, there are also fast boats to Saranda in Albania.
