Let’s take a look at Corfu’s most popular beaches:

Agios Georgios is undeniably one of the most beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean. The child-friendly beach is ideal for our little friends because of long and wide stretch of sand, providing endless space for fun and games. The blue waters are shallow, so parents can unwind in peace while watching their children swim in the crystal blue waters. The secluded beach offers much-needed tranquillity!

Gouvia Beach is heavenly! Gouvia Beach is popular for its sandy-pebbled bay. On the beach you will find hidden coves ideal for exploration. Gouvia Beach is also the ideal spot to take up water sports such as paragliding, diving as well as water skiing. Others prefer going horseback riding and exploring the area as it boasts with olive and citrus trees.

Agios Stefanos Beach is nestled in Agios Stefanos Village and is famed for its sandy bay and crystalline waters. You will be mesmerised by the impressive scenery and sandy beach, especially during the sunset! The small port also provides access to neighbouring isles like Mathraki, Erikousa and Othoni.

Alykes Beach is definitely just one of those places that remain unforgettable forever! Why? It’s simply beautiful! Until recently the area used to be a salt more which closed down in the late 1980s, hence the name of the beach Alykes means salty area. The golden sand, crystalline emerald waters and breathtaking scenery combine, making Alykes a haven!

One of the island’s most striking bays is Canal d’Amour, otherwise known as the Channel of Love. The bay is nestled on the coast of Sidari Village and is surrounded by striking green-covered landscapes. The golden-brown bay is a beautiful spot made up of exquisite rock formations which have created numerous canals and coves. The rocks are decorated with unique shades of yellow with greenery sprouting on the top. The Canal d’Amour is an impressive bay for those looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of more crowded beaches. As legend has it couples who swim through the canal are destined to get married!
