Kassiopi ... facility, there are banks with cash machines, doctors and pharmacies, internet cafes and supermarkets, a school and a church (where sightseers are most unwelcome), travel agents and a police station. Amongst the numerous waterfront restaurants and bars, the Harbour Bar, at which parents are really unwelcome, is at the heart of the English public school teenagers' lives and loves.

Newest Review: ... got to our rooms we were exhausted and in a state of shock. The rooms were fine but our only view was an olive tree and a dodgy donkey called Oti. The next day, we abseiled down the hill to get to the resort of Paleo, and what a stunninhg place it is. Almost breathtaking.
