Description
** UPDATE: On 17 Sep 2020 a massive hurricane in the Mediterranean devasted this lovely town. Part of he mountainside was washed down in a slurry and engulfed the town and harbour area with over 5 ft of rock and rubble. The access road is severely damaged cutting off the town. **
Breathtaking views over the charming village of Assos in northern Kefalonia. Assos is situated on the bay adjoining the isthmus where a Venetian Castle exists. The castle became the capital of northern Cephalonia as a large fort with a small settlement inside.
The village retains its simple original traditional Ionian architecture, thanks to the French who came to the aid of the people to rebuild their houses after the 1953 earthquakes. The square is dedicated to the French people and is known as Paris Square with a commemorative plaque dedicated to them.
Kefalonia is a Greek Island in the Ionian Sea on the west side of mainland Greece.
