Beautiful little bay village but when I say little, it’s very very little. We went in may and it was perfect, not too busy and space to eat. There is one car park and one small beach, I would not go..... more

Gorgeous area with shallow bathing. Incredibly picturesque with a few lovely shops including a wonderful bakery and eateries. With a public toilet and shower and 2 main parking areas all close to the village. Easy to spend the day. Some interesting ruins too.

Such a truly stunning little village. I don’t know how wonderful the beach would be for laying out in the sun or swimming because it is very tiny. Still, the whole little nook is a magical little place that I feel so lucky to’ve seen.

Prepare yourselves for quite a winding drive/ride down. Streets are small. There’s a parking lot with a long road down to the shoreline. Quaint little village with pastel colored buildings. The beach itself is very small. About 2 dozen or so of recliners and umbrellas that get filled in no time. Ships and boats do dock here. I personally think the beach is not that clean and a bit muddy but it’s ok if you are spending the day.

The town is extremely charming, colourful pastel buildings look like from a fairy tale. The beach is quite crowded but the water is clear and warm.

The beach is narrow, but Assos itself is beatyfull, traditional village! Ps: do not forget to take a picture at the mountain, before driving down to the village...the view is breathtaking!
