Acharavi, Coastal village in Northern Corfu, Greece
Acharavi is a coastal village in northern Corfu with a white pebble beach extending for about 7 kilometers, facing the Albanian mainland. The settlement stretches along the main road with numerous buildings, shops, and dining establishments.
The original settlement was called Hebe after Zeus's daughter, but was destroyed around 32 BC by Roman Emperor Octavian. The site was later renamed Acharavi.
The Folklore Museum displays regional heritage through traditional furniture, agricultural tools, and local costumes spanning three centuries across two rooms. Visitors can see how daily life and work looked in earlier times.
The village has supermarkets, bakeries, pharmacies, and schools for daily needs. Along the coastal road you will find many restaurants and cafes for meals and refreshments.
Excavations in 1985 uncovered Roman baths from the 1st century with separate hot water chambers and underground pipes for heating. These remains show the sophisticated heating system used by the Romans.
