Mini guide to ASSOS village Kefalonia 🇬🇷🏝️ Assos is chaos during the summer afternoons. Beach packed, sunbeds €25 per set, parking a nightmare. But stay overnight? Completely different village. So here is my guide to actually enjoying it: 🏠Where to stay Chromata Villas (invited). Private plunge pools, huge suite villas, breakfast included. It's tucked behind the main square, first side street — means you're away from the noise even when the beach is rammed. Perfect if the bay gets too crowded. 🍽️Eating Savoro for sunset dinner with a view. Kantina if you want simple, honest grilling. But honestly, Rotsis family bakery is where I'd start my mornings. Coffee is incredible, pastries are even better, both sweet and savoury. 🥾🏰The hike Castle up the hill, thirty minutes, paved but steep, bring water and sunscreen (I was sweating at sunset in August). Down takes fifteen to twenty. Beautiful sunset spot but it's longer than it looks. 📸Photo spots Best overview of Assos is either from the hike up to the castle or from the right side of the beach (when facing water) when walking up the alleys The viral staircase is located exactly opposite, on the left side on the side of the pink house 🚤Activities Take a boat tour or rent a boat to see beaches like Myrtos and Fteri 🅿️Real talk Parking is tight when it gets busy. Park in the biggest area or risk a fine or worse, your plates taken away. 🛌Why stay the night? Morning until 11am, this place is quiet and beautiful. Same at night once everyone leaves. You get Assos without the crush. Plus boat rentals here, sunset cruises, snorkelling trips round the bay to Myrtos and Ferteri. #AssoKefalonia #KefaloniaIsland #kefalonia #greekislands #CapCut — @tzatchickie TikTok
