Here are the most Incredible Beaches to visit.... Eat , Love & Pray in Corfu!

1. Paleokastritsa

Palaiokastritsa is a village in northwestern Corfu, Greece. Corfu has been suggested to be the mythical island of the Phaeacians and the bay of Palaiokastritsa to be the place where Odysseus disembarked and met Nausicaa for the first time. Located on the north-west part of the island, Paleokastritsa has quickly become one of my favorite destinations in Corfu. Made up of several pretty beaches overlooking a lagoon, the landscapes are absolutely breathtaking!

2. Sidari

Sidari beach lies on the northwest end of Corfu. A large tourist resort and a long stretch of golden sand ending at the famous Canal d`Amour. It is one of Corfu’s great tourist destinations. Until the late 80s, it was a beautiful but almost deserted beach. Belonged to the residents of Avliotes village that is nearby in the island’s interior.

3. Glyfada

Glyfada beach is found in front of the famous coastal settlement where many Athenians visit during the summer season. It is located 16 km south of the city of Athens. In Glyfada, you will not find the typical pristine beaches, but you wil surely enjoy a refreshing swim at the crystalline waters and a relaxing sunbath.

The area is filled with trendy cafes, cozy restaurants and lively bars for all types. Most of the beaches in Glyfada are public but you may find some private beaches which are less crowded. It is easily accessed by many local buses from the city centre and the tram.

4. Issos Beach

Issos is a beautiful beach located 28.5 km southern of Corfu. The endless seashore with the unique sand dunes and the crystalline waters offers an ideal destination for families. The rich flora divides the shore from the most important wetland of Corfu, the Korission Lake.

5. Agios Georgios Pagon

The beach at Agios Georgios Pagon is in the north west of Corfu. It’s about 35km, which is just under an hours drive away from the capital Kerkyra.

Agios Georgios Pagon beach is long and wide, particularly in the middle. The majority of the beach is coarse sand and it’s the main attraction and a big reason why people base their holiday at the town of Agios Georgios Pagon.
