Almyros Beach is on the northernmost tip of Corfu, approximately 40 km from Corfu Town. It seamlessly blends into the resort of Acharavi to the west. The drive from Corfu Town takes about an hour.

• Parking: Parking is generally easy and free, with ample space along the quiet road that runs behind the beach.
• Accessibility: The beach is flat and very easy to access directly from the road.

• Vast Sandy Beach: A huge, long stretch of soft golden sand that offers plenty of space for everyone, even in peak season.
• Exceptionally Shallow Waters: The defining feature. You can walk out for 50 metres or more before it gets deep, making it one of the safest beaches in Corfu for toddlers.
• Antinioti Lagoon: The beach sits next to the protected Antinioti Lagoon, a nature reserve that is a haven for birdwatchers and nature lovers.
• Peaceful Atmosphere: Almyros is the quiet, natural extension of Acharavi, perfect for those looking to escape the crowds and relax.

Almyros is semi-organised, offering the best of both worlds. You’ll find sections with sunbeds and umbrellas for rent, usually in front of the excellent beachfront tavernas. There are also long, undeveloped stretches where you can lay your towel for free. This beach has been awarded the prestigious Blue Flag for its excellent water quality and safety. While there are fewer public facilities than in major resorts, the nearby tavernas offer restrooms and refreshments. For more shops and bars, Acharavi is a short walk away.

How shallow is the water at Almyros Beach?

It is exceptionally shallow. You can often walk out for 50 metres or more into the sea before the water reaches waist height, making it arguably the safest beach on Corfu for toddlers and non-swimmers to paddle.

Are there sunbeds and umbrellas for rent?

Yes, the beach is semi-organised. There are sections with sunbeds and umbrellas available to rent (often in front of tavernas), but there are also long, free stretches where you can simply lay down your towel.

What is the difference between Almyros and Acharavi beach?

Almyros is the eastern, more natural, and quieter continuation of the main Acharavi beach. While they are essentially the same stretch of sand, Almyros is less developed and has a more serene, laid-back atmosphere.
