Alykon Bay

✨ Hidden gem

Órmos Alykón is a sheltered bay located in the central part of Corfu, within the Municipality of Central Corfu and Diapontia Islands in the Ionian Sea. The bay's name derives from the Greek word 'alykes' meaning salt flats, hinting at its historical connection to salt production in the area. You'll find this coastal spot offers natural protection from prevailing winds while being easily accessible from Corfu's main settlements. Its position in central Corfu puts you within reach of the island's rich Venetian and Byzantine heritage sites scattered throughout the municipality.
