Kassiopi:: Its harbour has many places for eating and entertainment. Ancient Kassiopi was founded in 281 BC.There used to be here, in a prominent position, the temple of Kassios Dias. The temple no longer exists, but probably was at the same spot where the Church of the Blessed Virgin Kassiopitras is. Here also, is the oldest fortress on the island. It was built by the Romans and extended by the Angevins. The fortress was destroyed by the Venetians, and the ruins which exist today come from the castle they built later on the same place.
