Acharavi is a large bustling resort situated in the northern part of Corfu. Alymiros beach is located between Agios Spiridon and central Achravi and is known for its calmer long sandy shoreline, eventually connecting to the main Acharavi beach. It is possible to take a long stroll along the 9km beachfront between Almiros and Acharavi.
It comprises a main road (the commercial centre of the North) with plenty of restaurants, bars, shops, supermarkets and a bank. Leading off the main road various side roads end up to the beach, which is just around 10 minutes walk Please visit the Acharavi Folklore Museum where the local history of the area is exhibited and historical mementoes, photographs and drawings can be viewed or purchased.

Acharavi is established as one of the top resorts on the Northern side of Corfu and is particularly suited to both couples and families due to the wonderful beach and wide range of facilities provided. Just a short drive away from the main attractions Acharavi are the Canal D'Amour in Sidari, and the resorts of Roda and Agios Spiridon,
It is around a 40km drive from the airport and takes about an hour to the centre. The scenery en route is simply stunning and totally unforgettable as you wind your way through natural gorges, olive groves to view the North of the island in its full natural glory.
The roundabout in the centre of Acharavi is called “The Pump”, named after the" Old Village Pump".
A road leads upwards from the roundabout into the old village of Acharavi.
