Spacious two-bedroom apartment near sandy beach

Amalia Ena is a two-bedroom apartment located within walking distance from Agios Spyridon N/E Beach and the Nature Reserve of Antinioti Lake, close to Perithia Corfu, and only five minutes by car from the popular resorts of Kassiopi and Acharavi. It is located in a quiet neighbourhood and is ideal for a family or a group of four people.

The owner has placed sunbeds in the large and comfortable yard for those who do not want to go to the beach but want to enjoy the sun in their apartment. Amalia Dio is located next to Amalia Ena, an identical two-bedroom detached house, giving guests the option of combining both apartments if more space is required.

Amalia Ena is in the countryside, but occupants can easily find all types of facilities within short walking distances, such as a sandy beach (ideal for children), tavernas, super markets, boat or car hire, and, most importantly, amazing walking paths through or around the Nature Reserve and olive groves, all the way up to the village of Old Perithia.
The main entrance, on the left side of the building, leads to an open-plan space with dining and small sofa sets, a kitchenette, and a family shower room adjacent.
Amalia Ena has two bedrooms: one double with a balcony door opening to the front terrace and one twin with a back window overlooking the olive grove.

The beach of Agios Spyridon (N/A) is another beautiful and quiet beach of the island. On the border between the North and the Northeast, the beach is located near the protected wetland of Lake Antinioti, between the tourist resorts of Kassiopi and Acharavi. The main beach there is utterly child-friendly. The waters are shallow and the beach is sandy. For those who love hiking, there is an amazing path that starts from the Antinioti lagoon and leads to the nearby area of Almyros, passing through a forest of unique beauty. On the beach there is the church of Agios Spyridon, from where the beach got its name, and some taverns.
Near the beach is the monastery of Agia Ekaterini, founded in 1713, inside which you find remarkable frescoes from the 18th and 19th centuries. Embraced by wild vegetation and at the mercy of time, it blends with the natural beauty of the landscape. It looks like it came straight out of a fairytale. The peninsula-headland located behind the characteristic old house is called Lagopidima, and behind it a characteristic point-pier is hidden, that of Petsapou, overlooking the characteristic rocks of Spyridonisia. Pretsapou is what the locals call the wider area nearby where villas for rent are found.
The Antinioti lagoon is one of the most impressive landscapes of Corfu, with an extremely sensitive and diverse ecosystem. It is located on the north side of the island, in the municipality of Thinalia, after the beaches of Almyros and Agios Spyridon.
The beach is organized, it has sunbeds, umbrellas, and a place to shower. You can also find some traditional taverns there.
The Antinioti lagoon occupies a total area of approximately 400 acres and consists of the main lagoon. It is a place full of wild flowers and reeds, as well as aquatic plants that cannot be found anywhere else in the Ionian Islands.
The lagoon communicates with the sea through two mouths. One in the west (Paliobouka) with a 200-meter long canal and one in the east (Agios Spyridonas) with a 100-meter canal. It is fed with fresh water from springs in its southern part and from a series of other small streams.
The Natura 2000 treaty protects the Antinioti lagoon because of its uniqueness and because it is a home to many kinds of birds.
Scientists working in the area and monitoring the ecosystem have recorded over 90 species of migratory birds, including herons, cormorants, ducks, water turtles, river turtles, and loggerheads—a type of reptile.
The rarest species found in the area is the otter, or svidra, as the Corfu people call it, which lives in large populations in the lagoon.
