Assos: Venetian
Fort
A small road winds its way down to Assos on the islands northwest
coast to arrive at this small, unspoilt village. The pebbled
beach is overlooked by the Venetian Fort, which is situated on
a rocky peninsula across an isthmus from the village. Assos is
popular with day-trippers as there is not much accommodation
in the village itself. Situated high up on a rocky peninsula,
the remains of this Venetian Fort make for good exploring. The
impressive position of the fort was considered, in its day, to
be unconquerable. Built around 1595 it has since seen occupation
by the French and Russians.
