4 beautiful beaches to Visit in Corfu

The Ionian island of Corfu offers some of the most pristine beach locations on the planet. Its sheltered bays, narrow strips of land, and close proximity to the mainland coasts of Greece make it an ideal place for sunseekers and watersport enthusiasts. Read on and find your perfect spot among our top 4 picks of the most beautiful beaches in Corfu.

Glyfada Beach

Situated on the opposite side of the island from Corfu Town, Glyfada beach is a popular destination for visitors due to its extremely inviting shore. The sand at Glyfada beach is soft in texture and looks like someone sprinkled an impressive amount of brown sugar across the entire coastline, while the water is calm and remains shallow for several metres.

Canal d’Amour

One of the most beautiful and romantic beaches in Corfu, Canal d’Amour spots several hidden coves and caves dotted across its coastline. Lay your towel down out on the smooth rocks to sunbathe or if you’re feeling an extra boost of energy that day set off for cliff jumping into the turquoise waters. Legend has it that if a couple swims through the channel together, they’ll soon be married.

Paleokastritsa Beach

The best feature of this beach is its waters. A slice of paradise, Paleokastritsa Beach is located on the west side of Corfu and has some of the clearest waters in the Mediterranean – extremely refreshing on a hot summer’s day. The shore is made up of a mix of tiny pebbles and sand, while the water beams with marine life. A must activity, therefore, is snorkeling. Be sure to bring sunscreen as you may stay in the water longer than expected.

Barbati Beach

If sunbathing is a hobby of yours this is the beach for you. Settle down on this soft pebbled beach, lie down and take in the soothing sounds of small waves and calming winds as you soak in the summer sun. The green mountains make for a beautiful backdrop, offering an early morning and late afternoon natural shade of comfort. Barbati Beach never gets too crowded, making it an ideal spot for those who value their summer holiday privacy. If you’re somewhat of an adventurer, you can hire a boat or kayak and venture off to the secluded bays and coves once you’re done sunbathing.

An unforgettable summer destination deserves an unforgettable stay experience. Louis Ionian Sun and Louis Kerkyra Blue offer just that.
