Avlaki beach guide
Avlaki is a wide, open bay of large pebbles on the northeast coast, between Agios Stefanos and Kassiopi. The water is very clear and gets deep.
The bay catches the breeze that often picks up in the afternoon, so it's one of the area's spots for sailing and windsurfing, with a sailing centre on the beach. There are sunbeds and umbrellas, a couple of small cafés and tavernas, showers and toilets. On calm mornings you can hire a boat to explore the caves along the coast.
Kassiopi, the nearest village, is about 45 minutes from Corfu Town by bus.
