Property for sale in Assos, Kefalonia
Assos is a village on the north-west coast of Kefalonia, built on the narrow isthmus that joins a Venetian fortress on its headland to the island, with a small harbour on one side and a cove on the other. It is busy with visitors in summer and very quiet in winter. It suits buyers who want a stone house in a village of this kind and are prepared to wait for one to become available.

Area guide
The isthmus and the fortress
The village sits at the foot of the road that zigzags down from the coast road above, its houses set around a harbour that looks north along the cliffs. The fortress, built by the Venetians at the end of the sixteenth century, occupies the headland across the isthmus and is reached on foot. Myrtos, the white-cliffed bay on the postcards, is a short drive south along the same coast; Fiskardo lies to the north.
Property
Assos was rebuilt after 1953 in stone and the houses in and above the village are stone still, which is what buyers come for. What reaches the market is a restored house in the village, a stone villa with pool on the slopes above with a view to the fortress, or a ruin to rebuild. Asking prices are shown on each listing; ask for an independent valuation before you make an offer. British and Italian buyers are a familiar presence in Assos.
