Chomi is one of the guide's five-star beaches, and part of the reason is that it is hard to reach. There is no road all the way, so you come by sea, and the beach never feels like a town beach. It is usually only moderately busy.
Getting there
Come by boat, on a boat trip or one you hire. The west coast takes the north-westerly wind, so check Swimming today on the Corfu page before you set out.
The beach
A very large stretch of sand under orange cliffs, about half a kilometre long, with turquoise, deep water: a beach for swimmers more than for wading. Plan your day around the boat, and bring water and sun protection.

Along the same coast
- Stelari, about 1 km away: a very large beach of fine shingle with crystal-clear, deep water, also reached only by boat.
- Stelari View, 1.3 km: a quiet viewpoint over Stelari. The way there is hard, by 4x4 or on foot.
- Ha Cave, 1.9 km: a quiet cave, also hard to reach, by 4x4 or on foot.
- Limni and Klimatia, 1.5 km: small pebble coves with very deep water at the end of a short, steep walk. Both are very popular.
- Rovinia, 2 km: a small cove with very deep water and white pebbles.
Distances are as the crow flies.
Our take: worth the boat. A big, beautiful sandy beach that the road never reached.
