Acharavi Holidays

Acharavi is situated on the northern tip of the Ionian island of Corfu. One of the top resorts for people on holidays to Corfu, Acharavi has stunning scenery and beautiful beaches that are perfect for anyone that wants to get away and relax. It takes about an hour to get to from the airport but on the way you will pass through some beautiful mountainous terrain, so make sure you have your camera ready!

The island has plenty to keep you busy, from bars and restaurants to beaches which are perfect for topping up your tan. The weather is fairly good all year round but if you want to make the most of it, the summer months are the best time to visit. Acharavi is ideal for anyone as there are enough attractions to keep the little ones happy, but if you are looking for a fun holiday with friends this will also be perfect as the resort has a brilliant nightlife!

If you plan on beating the rush of people on holidays in Acharavi then May is the perfect time. Those looking for a quiet holiday will normally find the beaches deserted, although the weather may not always be just as stunning as those summer months. Expect temperatures in the lower 20's and perhaps a small chill at night but still pack the beach clothes as when it is sunny, you will still get a tan! June and July are the hottest and busiest months, so you can expect the place to be a bit more crowded. The autumn months of September and October may experience a bit less sunshine but nothing can taint the beauty of this island!
