Overview:

Acharavi is situated on the northern tip of the Ionian Island of Corfu (Kerkyra).  It has long since established itself as one of the top resorts on the North of Corfu and is particularly suited to couples and families.  Around 40km from the airport, it takes about an hour to get into Acharavi.  The scenery on the journey is stunning as you pass through the mountains and quaint old Greek villages.

The resort comprises a main road with about 8 roads all leading to the sand and shingle beach.  The beach is particularly family-friendly as the water is shallow for about 50 metres into the sea.  The main road and beach-front are littered with bars, restaurants, gift shops and supermarkets.

Locality:

Acharavi is located on the North coast of Corfu, less than 2 mls from sister resort of Roda (23 mls North of Corfu Town and the airport). It is situated on a flat coastal plain backed by hills rising abruptly to the peak of Mt Pantokrator.

Entertainment/Facilities/Attractions/Things to do:

Life here is centred around 2 mls of sandy beach and is generally most popular for families and couples looking for a quiet beach holiday. Several bars and clubs entertain younger visitors. Water sports include windsurfing, pedalloes, water-skiing and para-gliding. There are a good selection of tavernas and restaurants concentrated on the main road and at the beach.
