Sand dunes and coastline in South West Corfu

Chalikounas

Wild Beach, Dunes & the Lake Korission Landscape

ABOUT

Chalikounas is part of South West Corfu. A long natural beach beside Lake Korission, known for open scenery, nature and wind-based watersports.

Chalikounas is a long, largely natural beach running beside Lake Korission. The open landscape, dunes and wetland setting make it feel very different from Corfu's more developed resort beaches.

The exposed coastline is also associated with wind-based watersports. Visitors come primarily for nature, space, walking and the beach rather than for a dense resort centre. It is particularly well suited to visitors interested in beaches, nature, walking, watersports and photography.

Getting there and practical information

Chalikounas is best visited with your own transport because there is no direct public bus to the beach. The final road beside Korission Lagoon is unpaved in places, but there is extensive informal parking along the long shoreline.
