Avlaki Beach, Shingle beach in northeastern Corfu, Greece
Description
Avlaki Beach is a shingle beach on northeastern Corfu stretching about two kilometers along the shore. The water is very clear, and green hills covered with Mediterranean vegetation create a natural backdrop behind the coastline.
History
This area reflects Corfu's maritime history, shaped by Venetian, French, and British periods. Traces of these different eras remain visible in nearby buildings, documenting the island's complex past.
Culture
The shore is lined with traditional tavernas where locals and visitors gather to eat fresh fish caught by fishermen from nearby Kassiopi. These places serve as natural meeting points in the daily life of the area.
Practical
Two water sports centers at opposite ends of the beach offer kayaks, paddleboards, and sailing equipment for rent. This range of options makes the beach appealing for visitors interested in water activities.
