Location

Assos is a village located in the North of the Greek island of Kefalonia, the largest of the Ionian Islands. Kefalonia is named after the mythological figure Cephalus – some believe its name means ‘island with a head’ due to the shape of the island. Kefalonia has a population of around 45,000. Assos is approximately 45 Kilometres heading north from the airport, it will take around 50 min to drive.

Leaving the airport, follow signs for Argostoli, drive through the town and follow signs to Fiskardo. Enjoy the scenic route for approximately 45 minutes/40 kilometres. You will come across a point where people are stopping to look down at Myrtos beach, once you have reached this point you are about 15 minutes from Assos. This is a wonderful spot for some dramatic photos of Myrtos beach from above.
