Vacation on Corfu Island: Kassiopi.
|
Kassiopi is quite small town on the northeasterly corner of Corfu Island. When we have moved in Paleokastritsa, we thought to prolive there two weeks, but afterwards somewhere scramble over, however afterwards we have stayed there on third, afterwards and for a fourth week and even thought on that to stay on fifth. It however it is realize that our studio will be occupies with 3 august by Italians. In general by the end of the July Italians steels to thicken, displacing other nations. In this moment a heat has transform warm days in hot days, but the sea becomes wholly comfortable, one can swim in it possible a lot of hours.
As result, we need to move somewhere else. In all worthy taverns and restaurants of Paleo we were test all worthy guards and drinks. Apropos, near the entry in Paleo (not far from camping), you can find tavern "Spiros", where decently dance Greek dances. In general-that such amateur performances is often meet, but in any deal it's important the talent and the passion.
After some thoughts we put our choice on Kassiopi. The first time we have fall into Kassiopi together with John, because he must make there some deals. In the Sunday enough late we are went through mountains in Kassiopi, (on the way we have went in small town borough Roda, situated approximately in the medium of north coast of Corfu Island, between Sidari and Kassiopi. Either as in Sidari, there is great sandy beach, but unlike Sidari, which lies along beach by the narrow strip, Roda is as so as perpendicular to the beach. Along beach and on the main street is packed cafe, restaurants, taverns and others, goes unceasing "tusovka", everywhere there are many of people. Shortly it's Yalta or even sooner Alushta as so they were is temporary bloom of epoch a sluggishness. Resort. After drinking some beer we went further in Kassiopi.
On the road from the Roda before Kassiopi landscape gradually become be change. This is because through north part of Corfu Island, as it were southwesterly on the northeast it's passes mountain chain, possible one even say mini-Kavkas. Sidari and Roda are situated in the hilly valley, which this chain cuts off from the remaining portion of the island, but Kassiopi already on that end chain, which abuts against in the northeasterly corner Corfu suborn.
Kassiopi was render quite tiny borough, surround small cove with the quay and nautiluses. Before and after Kassiopi One fined several such small coves with rocky coasts, which are equipped with beaches. They’re folk goes from Kassiopi to swim and tan.

The main bay of Kassiopi is a small port. No place for swimming. |
But on the left and on the right you can find a lot of small bays with clean water. |
In the way back we are send on other road along the east coast and due to this we got the full circle, part of which, up to Nisaki, we prowent as far back as first our independent trip on Corfu Island on the rented car. First, John has conceive the idea of was go on mountains and made a line by the finger on the map through some narrow mountain roads, but on the back way, it was seems to us, he becomes to dream from the drink beer - only on our eyes he has drink 4 bottles of "Amstel", but else three hours gallivanted sometime one. As result a necessary tumbling in mountains was not found, and we prowent from Kassiopi short of Corfu-town, having turn then on standard broad to the right and not sinuous road from Corfu-town to Paleokastritsa.
Immediately from Kassiopi road leaves from beach upwards in mountains. There are much beautiful views.
But we didn't lived in Kassiopi. At a last week before the moving there our boy became ill, several days he held a high temperature, it has appeared small red rash. At a Friday, for two days before the departure we have rented a car once again and have went to search for a new place. This time we have decided ride the west seaside southward from Paleo (downward and upward on the map). We have went a few several remarkable boroughs, very beautiful overhand, from mountains and no down, when before you went to they - a bay Saint Georges, Glifada and etc. We finally have stopped in the nearby town in pole kilometers from Paleo, in Liapades.
