Beaches in Dassia

Quiet beaches near Dassia

If you want a little more space to stretch out on your Dassia holiday, hire a car and make your way to quieter beaches scattered across Corfu.

As well as exploring Vido’s abandoned buildings which once housed a WWI military hospital and quarantine centre, you’ll find a calm cove on the far side of the island. Walk through leafy pathways to the quiet oasis.
