Kaminaki

Kaminaki, Kaminaki, Corfu Resort Guide, Corfu Travel Guide

Kaminaki, located on Corfu's north-east coastline is spectacularly beautiful, but has remained uniquely unspoilt in spite of its celebrity-status. Kaminaki is one of the small and enchanting bays that stud this coastline like jewels on a necklace. Still only a hamlet, with village houses occupied by their original local inhabitants, it has a mixture of modern and converted accommodation, two unpretentious tavernas (and others within easy reach), and water of Caribbean colours that laps against a gently shelving beach of pure white pebbles and sand.

Who is Kaminaki For?

Even though quiet, Kaminaki has something for everyone. Lazy days can be spent on the beach of Kaminaki where there is excellent swimming (especially snorkeling) and a South facing beach to catch every ray of sun.

Those looking for a little more activity can rent a boat, take water skiing lessons or even have fun being toed behind a speedboat!
There are also numerous coastal walks, under an olive grove canopy, to nearby bays. Krouzeri and Agni can easily be reached by foot.

There is a large 'bat cave' just above the bay, ask Spiros from the taverna.

There are a few steps down to the beach but it is flat when you are there. To walk to the Boat hire and water sports, you will need to climb over a few rocks.

Cleanliness and Urchins

Kaminaki is not a blue flag beach although it is kept extremely clean. Along the main beach there are no sea urchins but be careful if you swim by the rocky areas to the side; sea shoes (or jellies) should be warn.

How to get to Kaminaki

How to get to Kaminaki, Kaminaki, Corfu Resort Guide, Corfu Travel Guide

Follow the main coastal road from Corfu town towards the North East (signposted Kassiopi). You will pass through the resorts of Ipsos and Nissaki. Carry on this road taking care of the narrow road that winds around the mountain side. As you drive out of Nissaki, you will pass the shell petrol station on your left. In 100m time, look out for the signs down to Kaminaki on your right. (Slow down as the turning comes up on you quickly and it is on a bend!) The turning is on your right. Drive down the road to the bottom. (It is a little speed in places, but well worth the effort.)
Parking is on the roadside, and is limited but you will usually find a spot back up the road.
