Aug 2011: Kassiopi, Corfu

After the Durrell bay, we were wondering where to go. Well, on top of the island, we noticed a place called as Kassiopi. Now there’s a great place to be in. So off we went there.

On the way, we stopped at this “photo” point. Nice view, eh?

Boats running hard across the Ionian Sea.

While a swallow goes across our view.

But we kept on driving till we reached Kassiopi

The lovely warm streets of Kassiopi.

Lovely flowers on the walk about in the village. Then we reached the bay

Its a lovely little bay, very nice and quiet. We had some icecream and cold drinks at a cafe and then started on our way back.

Photobucket

Lovely warm houses

Photobucket

A small shop selling beach toys.

Photobucket

Rows of flags on top of a restaurant, presumably to attract tourists?

Photobucket

This was amusing, this tire was covered by this cardboard box, presumably to save it from the sun?

Photobucket

Jasmine? there is no sign of Jasmine anywhere, grumbles.

Photobucket

The roads were empty, people must be either on the beach or having a siesta.

Photobucket

We sat down in a cool pub to cool down. The pub was lovely

Photobucket

Dead or alive, lol

Photobucket

Interesting wall with a built in branch. What’s going on?

Photobucket

The walls were papered over with photographs, presumably of people who had fun here?

Photobucket

The bar owner is a fan of Olympiakos, eh?

Photobucket

Lovely mirror.

Photobucket

More photographs

Welcome to Kostas Bar.

Walked down to the harbour and were greeted by these swallows.

Greek Dancing? Looking at the photos, I wouldnt call it dancing, lol

This building has seen better days, the shutters are falling apart.

Fishing nets….

Hmmmm, I would be careful with where I put my hands. In between the perambulations in Kassiopi, we saw a lovely little church, unfortunately closed but the outside was lovely. The next essay deals with that.
