Arkoudilas is at Corfu's southern tip, about 46 km from Corfu Town. The drive takes over an hour.

• Parking: Limited, informal off-road parking is available at the end of a dirt track.
• Accessibility: Access is challenging. It requires either a 2.7 km hike from Kavos or a drive down a rough, unpaved road.

• Wild Sandy Beach: A long and wide expanse of beautiful golden sand, offering a truly natural and unspoiled environment.
• Dramatic Clay Cliffs: The beach is backed by impressive clay cliffs, which provide a stunning backdrop and are said to have therapeutic properties.
• Seclusion and Tranquility: Due to its remote access, Arkoudilas is one of the quietest and most peaceful large sandy beaches on the island.

This beach remains largely unspoiled, with minimal amenities. During the peak summer season, a small pop-up canteen may offer drinks and a few sunbeds for rent. However, visitors should come fully prepared with their own food, water, and sun protection, as there are no permanent facilities, including no toilets or changing rooms.

How difficult is the hike to Arkoudilas?

The trail from Kavos is around 2.7 km and is considered a moderate walk. It is mostly on dirt tracks and can be hot in summer, so wear appropriate footwear and bring plenty of water.

Can you drive all the way to the beach?

Yes, you can drive to the beach, but the final section is a rough, unpaved dirt track. It is manageable for most cars if you drive slowly and carefully, but a 4x4 or quad bike is ideal.

Are there any facilities on the beach at all?

In peak season (July/August), there is often a small, temporary canteen selling cold drinks and renting a small number of sunbeds. However, you should not rely on this and should always bring your own supplies. There are no permanent toilets or showers.
