Holidays in Assos

Holidays in Assos are a look at life in the slow lane. And what a perspective to look from …Set by the shore of a semi-forgotten bay, this picturesque place is by-passed by those on the tourist track – which makes it all the more attractive for the few who take the tangent to Assos. Holidays here let you wind-down, breathe deep and forget the meaning of stress.

If you're coming for undisturbed swimming and sun-soaking, you'll no doubt spend most of your time on the beach. A short sweep of shingle, it's close enough to the harbour to saunter along for a lunch that's light and cheap. Holidays to Assos will tempt you to wander further though, to explore the scenic peninsula, to trek to the ruins of a Venetian fortress – high on the headland above the village, or to hire a motorboat and find a deserted pebble cove. And to bask on the sparkling sands of the country's most photographed beach, there are boats to take you to Myrtos … and views to take your breath away.

Summer holidays to Assos are more than just R&R. They're a chance to live like the locals for a while …and, as the locals number little over a hundred, you'll soon feel you're one of them. Climbing the hill from the harbour, the village has a clutch of tavernas and a mini-market – so self-catering holidays in Assos are as easy as the tempo. Look at the sea-view Olympic House or the Architect's House – two minutes from the beach, for last minute holidays to Assos.
