On a natural harbour and an isthmus that fixes the Assos Peninsula to the Errisos Peninsula, Assos is an achingly pretty village in a cauldron of towering hills.
As with much of Kefalonia there’s greenery all around, in the palms by the water or the pines, firs and cypress trees in the hills.
Assos has a short quay moored with fishing boats and lined with tavernas and cafes, and this gives way to a pebble beach where houses have steps leading right down to the calm, pool-like waters.
