Kaminaki is one of Corfu's best - kept secrets. Kaminaki is a tiny breach-fronted village, tucked away amongst the olive groves. The bay is a beautiful well kept secret with sparkling white pebbles and a turquoise water gently lapping against the beach. It is almost a dream and probably the one that many of us have when we picture a small Greek holiday destination. One Taverna sits right on the beach, while another sits up high on the rocks overlooking the bay. The atmosphere is friendly - not dissimilar to other smaller coastal resorts in the area. The local boat hire owners chat to you as you stroll along the waters edge. The bay has remained untouched by tourism.
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. Our Corfu walking map will prove useful in located the nearby beaches and bays: Corfu Maps
The Kaminaki Beach
The Beach, Kaminaki, Corfu Resort Guide, Corfu Travel Guide Edit Photo and Caption Remove Photo The beach at Kaminaki is one of the prettiest on the island with white pebbles and a sparkling blue sea which stays warm enough for swimming right into November! For those who enjoy snorkelling, there are rocks on either side of the beach - home to small fish and octopus. Sunbeds and umbrellas are available for hire on the beach.
Type
Fine shingle with sand patches
Sunbeds
There are sunbeds and umbrellas for hire on Kaminaki beach.
Facilities
There is a shower situated to the left of the beach near to the boat hire. The Taverna owner, Spiros, will let you use the taverna toilets as long as you purchase a drink or meal.
Accessibility
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.
Places Nearby
A coastal path (lit at night) leads to Krouzeri Beach (see below) where yet another taverna, run by Yannis, is especially popular with teenagers on summer evenings. It is only a 5 min walk along the rocky coastal path - good shoes are needed and it would not suit the elderly.
Krouzeri Beach
Krouzeri has a long beach (sandy and pebbles) offering safe swimming, water sports and diving. Beachside tavernas provide welcome refreshments to those enjoying the beach and excellent snorkelling. The nearby Nissaki Beach Hotel offers a swimming pool which is open to non-residents, a restaurant and bar and, during the evening a low-key disco. There is a jetty/collection point for the water taxis which operate in the area.
Kalami
Kalami: The bay of Kalami nestles below the hills of the North East Corfu and is famous for
both its beautiful beach, and Lawrence Durrell's 'White House'. A popular destination for couples, Kalami is also
ideal for a family holiday with tavernas, safe swimming, water sports and boat hire - everyone is catered for!
Agni Bay
Agni Bay: In Greek Agni means un-spoilt and this describes Agni perfectly - just
three Tavernas (each with their own jetty for mooring up to) and a sprinkle of local buildings. The bay is reached mainly by rented motor boats, although recently
there is now a narrow road down into the bay. Each evening we offer a 'Speed Boat' taxi service, from surrounding bays to Taverna Agni. The above video shows the exciting experience.
Nissaki
Nissaki is a small pretty resort with a horseshoe-shaped beach, offering excellent swimming and water sports. There are several tavernas specialising in local cuisine. A small harbour shelters the many little fishing boats that are moored there and there is a jetty/collection point for the Taverna Agni water taxi which offers an evening service to Taverna Agni and a twice-weekly trip to Corfu Town
How to get to Kaminaki
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.
Kaminaki Accommodation
Agni Travel only offers accommodation in quite areas, away from the usual tourist trails, so that a truly Greek experience can be enjoyed. It will come as no surprise that much of the accommodation Kaminaki is managed by us, especially as our office is located above the bay!
