Kassiopi, a harbour with a castle

Kassiopi is a small harbour village on the north-east coast, just across the water from the mountains of Albania. Fishing boats and yachts lie below a ruined castle that you can walk through at no cost, and the lanes behind the quay are full of tavernas, bakeries and small shops. The Romans came here, and the emperor Nero is said to have stopped to sing at the temple of Zeus Kassios. Pebble coves lie on either side of the village.
