Anemomylos Beach is located in Corfu Town, along the Garitsa Bay promenade. It's just a 15-20 minute scenic walk from the central Liston and Spianada Square.

• Parking: Free street parking along Garitsa Bay is the only option, but it fills up very quickly.
• Accessibility: The beach is perfectly flat and accessible directly from the main promenade.

• Iconic View: The main reason to visit. The swimming spot offers an unparalleled, picture-postcard view of the Old Fortress across the bay.
• Anemomylos Windmill: The beach is named after the historic windmill that stands proudly at the end of the promenade, a landmark in its own right.
• Urban Swimming Experience: It provides the unique opportunity to combine a city visit with a refreshing swim in the sea, just as the locals do.

Direct amenities on the tiny beach itself are non-existent, which is part of its simple charm. Its true amenity is its location. The entire Garitsa Bay promenade is lined with excellent cafes, bars, and restaurants. You can go for a swim and then sit down for a coffee or a full meal just moments later. There are no sunbeds, umbrellas, showers, or changing rooms on the beach.

Is Anemomylos a 'proper' beach?

It's best to think of it as a designated urban swimming spot rather than a traditional beach. The sandy/shingle area is very narrow. People come here specifically for a convenient swim with a great view, not for a typical beach day.

Is the water clean so close to town?

Yes, the water in Garitsa Bay is generally clean and perfectly suitable for swimming. It's a very popular spot for locals, which is always a good sign.

Are there any facilities on the beach?

No, there are no facilities directly on the small beach itself. However, the entire promenade is lined with cafes and restaurants where you can use the restroom if you are a customer.
