Kalamaki Beach (Apraos)

A wide sandy beach between Acharavi and Kassiopi, famous for exceptionally shallow water that stays ankle- to waist-deep far offshore.

Kalamaki Beach (Apraos) has a sand shoreline. Easy road access to the Kalamaki/Apraos shoreline.

The beach is organised or has organised sections in season. Seasonal sunbeds are available. Seasonal watersports are available.

What to expect

The shoreline is predominantly sand. The sandy sections are comfortable for anyone planning to spend several hours on the beach. The generous stretch of shoreline gives you more room to spread out than at Corfu's smaller coves and makes it a good option if you enjoy beach walks as well as swimming.

Swimming and sea conditions

The water stays very shallow close to shore, making it especially attractive for paddling and relaxed family swimming. Conditions are often calm, particularly during settled summer weather.

Who this beach suits

This beach is particularly well suited to families, swimming and shallow-water swimming.

Facilities

There are organised sections in season, making it easier to settle in for a full beach day. Seasonal sunbeds and parasols are available; prices and operating dates vary by provider. Seasonal watersports are available; activities and operating dates vary by local provider.

Getting there and practical information

Easy road access to the Kalamaki/Apraos shoreline. Green Bus services towards Kassiopi/north-east Corfu stop on the main road near Apraos; check the current timetable.

Planning your visit

For a full beach day, late morning through the afternoon gives you the best chance of finding seasonal services operating, although this is also when organised beaches are busiest.

Is it the right beach for you?

It is worth shortlisting if its combination of setting, access and swimming conditions matches the type of beach day you are looking for.
