The long splendid bay at Avlaki seems to be missed by most visitors probably thanks to its better known neighbour of Kassiopi. It's most popular with weekending Greeks and not hard to see why. The narrow 800m-long beach is mostly shingle but there are boardwalks and sun beds and the sea shallow though only for a few metres then drops off sharply. It's very quiet, but more lively resorts are only a short walk and there are boat trips to Corfu (Korfu). There are no water sports as such but there are canoes for hire and a sailing school in the village which has a couple of tavernas, a single bar and no shops - the nearest is at Kassiopi.
