Kassiopi

Kassiopi or Cassiopi () is a fishing village and vibrant holiday-making destination of Ancient Greek origin. It is situated on the affluent northeast coast of Corfu, Greece. Historically significant due to its strategic position overlooking the Corfu Channel, Kassiopi was fortified up until the destruction of its defences by the Republic of Venice. The remains of Kassiopi Castle still stand tall above the village and are of considerable archaeological importance. Its surroundings have largely been developed with luxury villas.

== Toponomy == Speculation surrounds the etymological roots of Kassiopi. The name may derive from the Temple of Cassius Zeus that the town was celebrated for in antiquity. The Cassius in Cassius Zeus has its origins in Mount Casius. Another etymological link may be Cassiopeia, the Queen punished by Poseidon for her vanity and who the constellation is also named after.
