Interesting Facts About Acharavi & Almyros Beach
Acharavi Village and Amenities
Acharavi Beach is one of the longest beaches in Corfu, stretching for approximately 3 kilometres along the coastline. The beach features a mix of sand and pebbles and offers open views across the Ionian Sea towards Albania.
The southern section has larger white pebbles, while the northern end becomes sandier and quieter, making it ideal for visitors who prefer a more peaceful setting. The beach is partly organised, with sunbeds, umbrellas and beach bars available, while still offering plenty of open space.
Acharavi Village and Amenities
Acharavi is not only a holiday destination but also a functioning local town. The main road runs parallel to the beach and includes supermarkets, restaurants, cafés and a wide range of everyday services.
Visitors will find all essential amenities, including banks, a post office, pharmacies, dental clinics and medical centres. This makes Acharavi particularly suitable for families, longer stays and travellers who prefer a location with easy access to everything they may need.
The area also has historical interest, with remains dating back to the Roman period. The Roman baths located near the village are among the most important archaeological sites in the region.
Almyros Beach
Just north of Acharavi, Almyros Beach offers a quieter and more natural alternative. It is a wide, open beach with coarse sand and scattered pebbles, known for its relaxed atmosphere and lower visitor density, even during peak season.

Nearby, visitors can find traditional tavernas as well as accommodation options ranging from beachfront villas to apartments set further inland.
