Erimitis Corfu
Erimitis is a lush paradise featuring crystal-clear waters, a winding coastline with beaches, coves, and capes, along with three serene lakes. These elements make it an important wetland area, rich in biodiversity. Situated between the village of Agios Stefanos Sinion and the beach of Avlaki in the northeastern part of Corfu, Erimitis remains one of the island's most tranquil spots.
Its location, directly opposite the Albanian coastline and in the narrowest part of the island, has prevented any significant development or human activity in the area. Historically, the Venetians used Erimitis for defensive purposes. To protect ships passing through the narrow strait, a lighthouse was built on the small island of Kaparelli during the British rule in the 19th century. Standing at 9 meters tall, it is the second oldest lighthouse on Corfu, following the one at the Old Fortress.
Erimitis includes a series of six pristine beaches, a complex of three lakes (Vromolimni, Akoli, and Savoura), and serves as a sanctuary for numerous rare bird species and animals, such as otters. Along with the nearby Antinioti Lagoon to the west and the wetland of Butrint on the Albanian coast, it forms an integrated wetland system of great ecological value.
Untouched by mass tourism, Erimitis can only be accessed on foot via trails or by boat from the sea. This remote location, coupled with its natural beauty, makes Erimitis a perfect destination for those seeking a peaceful escape in Corfu's unspoiled nature.
