Beach location: Another of the northern highway offerings accessed from the main road about 25-30 km. from
Corfu town. However, the turning down to the beach is sudden and severe. One of the hairiest half-kilometre descents you'll experience on
Corfu!
Disabled access: Wheelchairs may get as far as the taverns but will find it very difficult getting on to the beach itself. Choose neighbouring Krouzeri for better access.
Car parking: Yes. A municipal car park (paid) accommodates a limited number of cars. Otherwise, park on the roadside.
Food outlets/restaurants: Yes - Two or three tavernas in the attractive bay.
Sand/pebbles/shingle: Pebbles and shingle with some sand at the waterline. Small but attractive beach. Gets very busy.
Sunbeds/umbrellas: Yes.
Showers: No. For toilets use the taverna facilities.
Safe for children: Yes. The water tends to be placid and relatively safe for younger swimmers.
