Sunset & Nightlife

Dinner, cocktails and dancing in Ipsos, Agios Markos and Dassia

Our apartments sit in the middle of the best evenings on Corfu's north-east coast. Eat by the sea in Ipsos, enjoy a quiet drink in Agios Markos, or take a short ride to Dassia for beach clubs and cocktails. Here is our guide to the main restaurants, bars and clubs in each area.

Plan your evening

How a good night usually goes

Ipsos faces east across the bay, so the sun sets behind the mountains rather than into the sea. The result is a soft, golden evening light on the water and the hills, which is perfect for a seafront aperitivo. If you want a sunset over open water, take a drive to the west coast, around 45 minutes away.

A typical night here begins with a late dinner at a seafront taverna, continues with cocktails at a beach bar, and, for those who want it, ends on the dance floor. When you are finished, home is a short walk away.

Venues, menus and opening times change from season to season and between summer and winter, so please check before you go. These are suggestions based on public information and guest feedback, not paid listings.

Ipsos

The liveliest seafront on the coast

Ipsos is the heart of the action: a long waterfront with restaurants on one side and the sea on the other, and a lively strip of bars and clubs that stays busy late into the night. Everything below is within a few minutes' walk of the apartments.
