The infamous Chalikounas beach is located in front of Lake Korission facing the Mediterranean se. Essentially it consists of large dunes making the area one of most wild and unspoiled around Corfu.Area is protected under the Natura European Ecological Network. It is a rest area for the emigrant birds and you will have the opportunity to observe them at early summer or at the very end.
This beach is famous among windsurfers and kitesurfers. A regular North West wind (Mistral) is prevailing during the afternoon making the area a perfect spot for practicing. People also enjoy the area by bicycle or on foot since you will not find any asphalt. While in late July and August can be very crowded there will always be place to hide and relax. You will need a car and be prepared for the dust. A couple of sea sports venues have been established and you can either windsurf, kitesurf or SUP. Tayo bar is the place to be where you can have cool drinks, and bites while you enjoy cool music vibes.
Chalikounas was a well kept secret by windsurfers and not even locals visiting the area.We can assure you that during the 70’s a couple of world famous rock bands was here but that is another story.
This beach is one of our top three in Corfu. So this summer make Mimi and Coco your holidays home and be prepared for great adventures!
