Dassia or Gouvia? Please discuss

Dassia is possibly more 'upmarket' and is strung along both sides of the main road to north east.

Gouvia is simpler, the road going through the village is not a main road.

Very similar beaches.

Both have large hotels (Chandris at Dassia and Corcyra Beach at Gouvia) plus smaller ones and apartments.

Good bars and tavernas in both places and easy access to Corfu Town by bus no. 7.

Personally, I prefer the "village" feel of Gouvia/Kontokoli (and of course - there is the marina)

I agree with you Martyn, but do try the marina in Benitses sometimes, it improves all the time

Between them two choices I would have to say Dassia.

The reason we spent our first three holidays there and it was there that our passion for Corfu started. So it does have a spot in our Hearts. Also a very Big Spot in our Son's Heart.

I agree with you there Viv as Dassia was our first holiday in 1988 and we have been every year since then (sometimes twice).

Dassia has that big jetty (behind the Chandris Hotel) where you can enjoy all kinds of water sports - water skiing, paragliding - everything you can do in, on and above the water!   Have fun.

Hi Jan

I had thought, briefly, about including a side visit to Benitses into our July sailing trip. However, we only had 7 or 8 days and the intention was to visit a number of places both in the north and south Ionion that we last went to a few years ago on a similar family holiday. Unfortunately, we just ran out of time.

Maybe next year?

We prefer Gouvia, but we like Dassia as well, we always make a point of spending a day on Dassia beach and a wander round the village.
Gouvia is very similar except it's got Spiti Prifti!

Gouvia as it doesn't have a main road dissecting it, also cheaper - apart from that not much difference- many preferable places to these two.
