Built on the side of hills sloping down to a beach along the Aegean Sea, Assos features traditional stucco houses and narrow streets that are populated by only 100 permanent inhabitants. Some of the locals operate small taverns, offering hearty meals with views over the sea. The walk up to the Venetian castle ruins rewards you with the best view in the village and is accompanied by the scent of olive trees.

  • 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!
