Acharavi beach guide

Acharavi has one of the longest beaches on Corfu's north coast. The southern part is large round white pebbles, and the shore becomes smaller and sandier towards the north. The seabed shelves gently, and across the water are the mountains of Albania.

A string of beach bars and tavernas lines the shore, backed by resort hotels, and there's a watersports centre. Sunbeds and umbrellas can be rented.

Acharavi is about 37 km from Corfu Town, around an hour's drive. Green buses (route A3) run daily from the KTEL bus station; the stop is on the main road, about 10 minutes' walk from the beach. There's no dedicated beach car park, but you can park along the main road.
