acharavi beach

The beach is pleasant, but it may not be accessible to the general public. The hotel has reserved around 8-10 sunbeds with umbrellas, which are off-limits to outsiders. On the left side of the beach, you can lounge on the sand, but it's not the cleanest. Be cautious when following GPS directions as it may guide you towards a locked gate on the left. If you get too close to the beach, there's a chance of getting stuck in the sand.

The beach is quite lovely with crystal clear water and light, fine pebbles. However, it's not the kind of beach for those seeking a wild experience.

The shoreline tends to be rather congested, and if you desire to secure an umbrella, it will cost you 10€, unless you venture further away from the main thoroughfare where you can discover the solace of shaded trees and tranquility. The scenery is stunning, as it is throughout this entire coastline, and there is a lovely, albeit expensive, tavern nearby.

We embarked on a journey to the picturesque town of Kassiopi, taking the Green buses line from Corfu. Despite the heavy traffic in some areas, the bus ride was a pleasant one, lasting for approximately an hour and a half. Upon arrival, we were thrilled to discover that the beach was a mere 10-minute walk away from the bus stop. Before heading to the beach, we stopped by a convenient supermarket located in front of the bus stop to stock up on snacks and drinks for our beach day.
The walk to the beach was a delightful one, as we were greeted by the mesmerizing blue, turquoise, and crystal-clear waters. As we gazed into the horizon, we were able to catch a glimpse of the stunning mountain range in Albania. Although the beach was composed of pebbles and rocks, we were able to rent sunbeds and umbrellas, which proved to be the best option for us. However, if you're comfortable laying on the pebbles or rocks, there is ample space to do so as well.
For two sunbeds and an umbrella, we paid around 7€, which was a reasonable price for a day of relaxation on this serene beach.
