Dassia beach guide

Dassia is a long beach of coarse sand, shingle and pebbles on the east coast, about 2.5 km in all, becoming narrower and more pebbly towards the north. A promenade shaded by mulberry trees runs behind much of it.

The sea is usually calm, warm and shallow. It's a busy, well-equipped resort beach: sunbeds (many run by the hotels), beach bars, showers and one of the island's biggest choices of watersports, including parasailing, wakeboarding, waterskiing and paddleboarding, plus a diving centre. It was awarded a Blue Flag in 2026.

Dassia is about 13 km north of Corfu Town, around 35 minutes on the frequent blue city bus (route 7).
