Cape Asprokavos is the southernmost point of Corfu and consists of spectacular sea cliffs, a dense green forest, and one of the most stunning beaches on the island.
Cape Asprokavos is situated in a remote area called Arkoudilas and can only be reached by foot. The route to the cape is part of a popular hiking trail that loops around the area and along the Monastery of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Arkoudilas Beach, and Moschopoulos Lake.
From Kavos, it’s a 3.2-kilometer walk to Cape Asprokavos. Although there are some steep parts, the walk is very doable even for inexperienced hikers. If you have a private vehicle, like a rental car or scooter, you can also drive about halfway there. The road is unpaved but very doable for the first part, but after a while, it becomes more rocky, steeper, and more challenging, until it turns into a track only suitable for four-wheel drives.
The effort to get there is totally worth it, especially if you like a nature walk. At the cape, there is a viewpoint from where you’ll have a magnificent view of the surroundings, and on the horizon, you can see the island of Paxos. A 450-meter walk further, you can visit the ruins of the Monastery of the Blessed Virgin Mary and from there you can also get a glimpse of Arkoudilas Beach.
