Ikos Dassia
Corfu, Ionian Islands, Greece

Corfu has always occupied a place apart from the rest of Greece. Influenced by centuries of Venetian rule, the island possesses a character shaped as much by Italy as by the Aegean, with pastel-coloured facades, elegant arcades and a cultural heritage found nowhere else in the country. At Ikos Dassia, guests are perfectly positioned to discover this distinctive side of Greece.

Located on Dassia Bay, along Corfu's east coast, the resort looks across the Ionian Sea towards the mountains of mainland Greece. The sheltered waters have long made this coastline one of the island's most desirable stretches, offering a peaceful base from which to explore Corfu's many contrasts.

The real appeal lies beyond the shoreline. Wander through Corfu Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where Venetian fortresses, hidden squares and café-lined promenades reveal the island's extraordinary history. Explore rural villages surrounded by cypress trees, visit family-run olive estates or follow winding coastal roads to secluded beaches and traditional tavernas that continue to serve recipes passed down through generations.
