Avlaki Beach is the largest beach in Erimitis, an unspoiled natural area with green hills, wetlands, and secluded bays in the northeast of Corfu.
How To Get To Avlaki Beach
Avlaki Beach is located at the edge of Erimitis, about 2 kilometers east of Kassiopi, and can best be reached with a private vehicle like a rental car or a scooter, or by boat.
From Corfu Town, it’s a 34-kilometer drive to Avlaki Beach. After following Road 2217 Tzavrou-Kassiopi-Sidari, the easiest way is to take the exit in Agnitsini and follow the road through Erimitis until you reach the beach. There’s a free parking lot immediately to your right, but you can also park alongside the road.
There is no viable public transportation option to get to Avlaki Beach. The nearest bus stop is in Kassiopi and serves Green Bus lines A4 and A12 which both connect the town with Corfu Town.
Beach Description
Avlaki Beach is the largest beach in Erimitis and despite being right next to the road, it’s still a bit secluded because of its location in Bolana Bay. The beach is oriented towards the north and northwest and stretches out over a length of approximately 500 meters, with an average width of about 10 meters.
The beach and seabed are covered by a combination of sand, pebbles, and stones. The beach bed has a gentle slope and for the first few meters, the bathing water is shallow.
Avlaki Beach is surrounded by a green scenery and to its southeast also lies the Savoura Pond, one of the small lakes of Erimitis. Avlaki Beach is also the starting point of a trail through the forest of Erimitis that leads to several unspoiled beaches and reaches all the way to Agios Stefanos Sinion to the south. The nearest beach is Avlaki East Beach, which is just around the corner in the same bay.
Facilities At Avlaki Beach
Avlaki Beach is partly organized and has several facilities, including sunbeds and umbrellas for rent and several tavernas where you can get food and drinks. There are also some water sports and boat rentals.
