Anchorage· Corfu· Greece — Ionian, Saronic & Argolic

39° 42.9′ N · 19° 39.4′ E

Corfu's famous 'double beach': two crescent coves back to back on the narrow isthmus of Cape Arilla below Afionas, one on each side — glorious from the water on a calm day.

Practical

Coordinate from SailingIssues (west of the isthmus). Depths 2–10 m, sand with seaweed patches (mySea). Open to the prevailing NW, otherwise a glorious spot (SailingIssues). A 20-minute footpath climbs to Afionas village (Wikipedia). Medieval fortification ruins lie between the village and the beach.

Best for

A calm-day lunch anchorage and photo stop

Season

Calm or easterly weather only
