Popular areas to consider

• Dassia Village: This area offers a mix of hotels and apartments near the beach and local amenities.
• Ipsos: Situated slightly further north, Ipsos offers a lively atmosphere with plenty of bars and restaurants, but it might be a bit noisier than Dassia.
• Barbati: This quieter area, north of Dassia, is ideal for those seeking a more tranquil atmosphere and spectacular beach views.

When looking for budget-friendly options, consider apartments and guesthouses instead of hotels. Remember to book your accommodation in advance, especially during peak season, to secure the best rates and availability.

Dassia's culinary scene is a delightful mix of traditional Greek flavours and fresh, local ingredients. The cuisine draws heavily from Corfu's rich history and agricultural bounty. Expect fresh seafood, hearty meat dishes, and an abundance of delicious vegetables. The simple, yet flavourful dishes are a celebration of the island's natural produce.

Here are three dishes you should definitely try:

• Sofrito: A traditional Corfiot stew made with beef or lamb, slow-cooked in a rich tomato sauce with herbs and spices.
• Pastitsada: A unique Corfiot pasta dish with a rich meat sauce, a nod to the island's Venetian heritage.
• Bourdeto: A seafood stew made with red mullet, tomatoes, onions, and a fiery kick of chilli. This dish represents the vibrant coastal culture of Dassia

To sample these delights, explore Dassia’s many tavernas and restaurants, many located along the beachfront. Many of the local tavernas offer traditional meze platters (small plates of local dishes) ideal for sharing and trying a variety of tastes. Local neighbourhoods are also perfect places to discover new restaurants. The best time to experience the local cuisine is during lunch, when the food is fresh and the restaurants are bustling with activity.

Adding cultural experiences to your Dassia itinerary is a must for any traveler looking to immerse themselves in local traditions and atmosphere. Dassia, although a resort town, has a vibrant cultural scene throughout the year, marked by various events and festivals.

• Religious festivals: Many religious holidays are celebrated with traditional processions and festivities in Dassia and Corfu.
• Local Markets: These offer a chance to experience local life and purchase handcrafted souvenirs. Check the local listings for schedule and location.
• Cultural performances: Local artists often showcase traditional Greek music and dance at various venues around the island. Look for posters or check with your hotel for details.
