Agios Stefanos (Sinies) beach guide

Agios Stefanos is a small fishing village on the northeast coast, between Kerasia and Kassiopi, where only a narrow channel separates Corfu from the Albanian coast.

The beach lies right beside the harbour: pebbles, a shallow seabed and sheltered, clear water, which suits families. It's partly organised, with some hotel sunbeds.

Around the harbour there are tavernas, a supermarket and boat rental. A boat is the easiest way to reach the small pebble coves of the Erimitis coast to the north.
