Don't know the mileage exactly, but we have walked from the far end of Dassia to Ipsos in about half an hour, walking briskly.

Gouvia is on the Dassia blue bus route so you will be within easy reach of Corfu Town.
Plenty to see and do there if the weather is not kind. View Topic:

in April I would only look at a radius of 12 kms approximately from town- the limit of nthe more frequent local buses. Then if the weather is poor you can get into town, and if good use your resort as a base for exploring the rest of the island. I would look at Benitses (Argo apartments would be great), Dassia, Kontokali View Topic:

Hi Caramel, We go from Paleo to Kassiopi on the local buses to see friends quite a lot. You get on the bus in Paleo but don't go all the way into Corfu town. Get off the bus at the traffic lights/cross roads.(where the road into Corfu town and the coast road to Kassiopi meet. You will see big signs saying Dassia/Kassiopi etc). Walk across the road when you come off the bus and you will see a bus stop for the bus to Kassiopi. Ask somebody if you are not sure and do the same again on your way back. It saves you going all the way into Corfu town and back. Hope you have a good time Kind Regards Tom and Marion

Apologies got mixed up with the hotel. We stayed at the Corfu Chandris, not the Dassia so can't give a review on that one. The only experience we had of that was the Greek night which was good.

Hi All We are visiting Dassia in July for the first time since our children were bourne 7 years ago. We used to go there, pre kids, and absolutley loved it. We used to stay at the Corfu Chandris. I have a couple of questions. :- We loved Dassia, it had a bakery/coffe shop is this still there? Does anyone have any reviews (fair and honest ones) of the Dassia Chandris, I ve looked on trip advisor but it just looks like the critics were expecting the Ritz and I know that it isnt like that! Really looking forward to going to Corfu this year. Bring on Summer 2013

When I first went to Corfu in the mid-1970s, Dassia-Ipsos was very busy, partly because of the Club Med. Benitses had some tourism but hadn't yet become party central.
As the show has ended, it's evident the makers did just what they set out to do. Maybe those of us feeling somewhat let down by it were hoping that Corfu would work its magic on them and they'd want to expand a bit more on the interesting history and mix of cultures, and explore beyond the beaches.
Oh well, we did meet some intrepid folk--mostly ladies--"living the dream" for better or worse and feasted our eyes on that beautiful scenery. Hope it intrigued a few people who've never been there to consider Corfu for next summer's holiday. View Topic:

There are roadside fruit and veg stalls too - we use one near Dassia and I think there is one to the South of Corfu town too. May to October they seem to be there, not sure about in winter. The fruit and veg are fresh and not too dear, better than most supermarkets or mimi-markets anyway, in my opinion. View Topic:

We bought most or our stuff for our house in Barbati from Profi and Ebanos which are on the road from Corfu town towards Dassia. Ebanos do deliver and they were actually very good. We found furniture to be quite expensive but for the amount we needed it didnt warrant buying it at home and shipping it out. Didnt seem to be many shops when we were buying in 2007 but now we see quite a few. Most are on the main roads in and out of town so if you have time take a ride out and check each one. View Topic:

We have been visiting Gouvia since 1988. Still enjoy it as much today as we did then. We find it very laid back & relaxing. No nightlife as such. There are a few nice restaurants & bars e.g. Molfetta Beach which overlooks the bay. We find Gouvia good for getting to other parts of the island e.g you can catch the local bus to Corfu Town very easily or the other way to Dassia & Ipsos. We enjoy a walk from Gouvia to the next resort of Kontokoli & the Marina. We will be going back to Gouvia in September 2012.

Taxis will cost about 10 euros each way to get into town. You can get the bus either on the main road, turning left out of the hotel (the bus from Dassia to Corfu town) or if you turn right out of the hotel, walk up the hill and catch the bus outside the mini-market. It costs 1.50 Euro if you buy a ticket on the bus or 1.00 Euro if you purchase the ticket in the mini-market.
There is a courtesy bus (2 Euros per person) in the evenings from the Hotel to the Old Town,
leaving at 19.30 and returning at 23.00. Hope that helps! Have a great time. View Topic:

Its about 1.5km out of town, near the new Port. The bus to Dassia runs past the end of the road but not sure on times. I think there may be a courtesy bus that runs into town (I'm sure I read that somewhere!!). I have a friend who works there so I'll check.

Thanks Rick_chef, very helpfull. I will venture out of the resort a few times. I can tell you where there is also a very nice place to eat, it's where the locals eat too (this is also a very good tip). Well actually I don't know the name of it, it's on the main road to Ipsos, just past Dassia. You go past the antique place going towards (it's on the left hand side) It's behind bushes a quite hard to notice when driving past, you'd have to slow down to notice it. Highly recommend!!  .

Once you have seen one garden centre you will see loads! There are two or three around Kontokali on the main road then two more on the main road just past Ebanos and Profi. If you head for the airport from Dassia end you will see all these plus two or three more on the main street before you branch off right for the airport, not sure what it is called there. View Topic:

Hi, Maybe you could ask in Dassia if there is a sea taxi that could take you there and bring you back. Got to be the best way of arriving at Agni by boat, even if it gives the locals a giggle trying to see you moor up and disembark!  Been there and done that and also have the T shirt.

Hi there Nic28.
I have stayed at the Telemachos Hotel for the past 22 years, sometimes twice a year so that may tell you something about it!!
You must bear in mind that the hotel is 2 star only and therefore, do not expect the standards of anything higher. We have always 'taken things as they come' in Corfu and as you can guess, have been very comfortable with everything about it. The staff have always been exceptionally helpful and friendly and we look forward to our coming visit on the 21st of May.
As we only stay bed and breakfast, we have a couple of great places where eat in the evening within a few minutes walk of the hotel. The first is 'La Casa' and Alexandros, which is further along the main road but still within an easy walk. The other is called Mam-A-Taka which is on the other side of the road before you get to La Casa. There are several other tavernas in Dassia, but of course we have our 'favourites'.
The road down from the Telemachos is fairly steep but after you have walked it once or twice you get used to it.
If there is anything else you would like to know about the hotel, please let me know.
I am sure you will enjoy your holiday and will want to return next year.
Pam...

We have stayed twice at Spiti Prifti, as Muffy says lovely pool and garden - and the blue bus stop is almost outside. This is very handy for exploring Corfu town (and Dassia the other way) and the busses run well into the evening.
The area is not hilly and there are plenty of places to eat and drink in Gouvia and Kontokali. View Topic:

We haven't stayed at the Ipsos Beach Hotel but have spent many happy holidays in Ipsos back in the good old days when you stayed in village rooms and didn't have either a swimming pool or air conditioning included in your package holiday! Those were the days!
We remember great times when we would call into the No Problem Bar for one night cap but then stayed until the sun came up because we didn't want to be the first couple to leave! And we would walk up to the Panorama Bar in Agios Markos to look at the fab views over Dassia/Ipsos/Barbati and beyond (and have a glass or two of the home-made moonjuice!)
I could go on and on about the great times we've had in Ipsos so I'd better stop now!
We made many good friends there and still call in to visit them when we're in Corfu.

Hi Pam Ella, When you book with Travel Republic they ask within their booking process the name of your hotel/apartment etc. The bus we were on to Kassiopi dropped people off at their hotel in Dassia and not on the main road. Lord Travel look after you and they have their own buses. Their desk is just outside the arrivals doors where the reps stand. The staff all seem to be British so you can ask them to ensure you are dropped off at your front door if a bus can get there. We have used them many times and have always received a good service. We have already booked for June this year. Kind Regards Tom and Marion View Topic:

I also have the same problem with transfer to and from our hotel. As there are five of us this time (plus 4 suitcases) I looked at Travel Republic. The destination I need is Dassia but they do not say whereabouts in Dassia they drop you off. Would they drop you at your hotel if you asked, or just at a certain point in the village?
As our hotel is at the top of a very steep hill, I would not like to have to walk from the bottom with 2 young children and four suitcases especially at around 11 pm!!
