Kalami Corfu

Kalami bay is set nestling below the North East Corfu hills and famous for the Durrel's 'White House' and beautiful beach. Kalami is a popular destination for couples and also suits a family holiday; families with both young children and teenagers will find this resort an ideal holiday away from the hustle and bustle of the busier towns on the island and yet typically Greek.

Set in an ideal location between the pretty bay of Agni and the quiet harbour of Kouloura.

Part of Kalami's charm is the mix of local people together with tourists. (Local fisherman are often seen early each morning on Kalami beach.)

Kalami is for families and couples, offering some evening entertainment from the bars towards the centre, but is quiet on the outskirts of the village.

Fine shingle beach provides clear waters ideal for swimming. The bay of Kalami is a natural cove and provides shelter from any waves making it a safe choice for children.

Sunbeds are widely available on the main beach in Kalami along with umbrellas. There is a small charge per day for their use.

There are showers, toilets and changing areas available on or close to the beach of Kalami.

Kalami Beach is a very safe beach and has a clean sea.

There are no steps to the main beach in Kalami, it is on the flat. There is car parking close to the beach. There is also a wooden path making walking along the beach, even at night even more romantic!

Kalami beach is extremely clean there are no sea urchins. Kalami is on of Corfu's Blue Flag Beaches, this is an award given by the EEC for recommended beaches.

A short 20 min walk to Agni Bay via a coastal path.

15 min walk (by road) to Kouloura.
Every evening boat taxi to Agni Bay.

Coastal-path type walking (good shoes though are needed) - to Kerasia and St Stephanos. (Download our map.)

On the headland between Kalami and Kouloura, there are two small coves with flat rocks - ideal for quiet sunbathing. Access mainly by water.

Follow the main coastal road from Corfu town towards Kassiopi. The road is windy and has many sharp bends as you go towards the North East of the island, so go careful, but to help, many of the worst bends have strategically placed mirrors to help you. The last village on the main road that you will pass through is Loustri. Look out for the signpost to Kalami, it is on your right. Follow the smaller twisting road down the hill, where the road starts to incline there is another turning on your left, this is to Kouloura, bear to your right and follow all the way down to the village.

There is a bus that goes from Corfu town that will take you to the top of Kalami - on the main road. These buses are every couple of hours approx during the summer months. Walk down the hill opposite the bus stop. Coming back up may be a bit more of a hike!!!

Although Kalami is a quiet resort, with four excellent tavernas and two bars, there is plenty for evening entertainment.

Each evening, there are two taxi boats from Kalami to Agni Bay, including our own taverna: Taverna Agni

It will not suprise you to find that many rich and famous visit Kalami - via their luxury yatchs! Sadly, they rarely leave their comfort and only watch from a far!

Being very sheltered, Kalami offers good holding for yatchs and many choose to stay over night.

Two Gift shops in the village selling tourist goods, ceramics, crafts and lace goods. There are also foreign newspapers to buy.

Three small supermarkets in the village, all of these will deliver heavy goods for you, i.e. Bottles of drinking water, crates of beer and wine! The supermarkets sell all the basic essentials, including ice cream and newspapers.

There are two exchanges in Kalami. Both will change travellers cheques and foreign currency. (Note: Sterling travellers cheques are said to be the best option) There are two tourist offices with information on the area, and they will also arrange car hire and trips to other areas of the island.

Public telephone in centre of the village, this telephone requires you to purchase a card, these are available from the supermarkets and tourist offices in the village. There is a post box in the centre of the village opposite the telephone.

There is a play ground near the cocktails and dreams bar, situated on the right as you come into the village. Although the playground is safe as it has an enclosed area be aware that it is near some steps so supervision is a good idea.

Being that Kalami is set on a steep hill getting down to the village without a car, may present a problem, although once in the village the main road through where the shops, bars and tavernas are situated is flat.
