The beach offers a picturesque stretch of fine sand, pleasantly serene without overwhelming crowds. For a reasonable price of 7 EUR, you can indulge in the luxury of two sun-beds accompanied by an umbrella.

During my six-day stay, I was able to witness the beauty of this beach, which I can confidently say is one of the most stunning on the island of Corfu. The sunset was truly breathtaking and I was able to capture its magnificence through my photographs. It is unfortunate, however, that some visitors do not take responsibility for their garbage, resulting in a slightly unclean beach. Despite this, if you look past this minor issue, you will definitely be satisfied with the overall experience of this place. I am hopeful that I will one day have the opportunity to return to this remarkable beach.

One of the most magnificent beaches around, with a perfect balance of solitude and liveliness. If you're looking for a peaceful retreat, one part of the beach is uncrowded and ideal for relaxation. On the other hand, if you're in the mood for some excitement, the other part is bustling with activities such as games and fun. The beach's price is reasonable, with only 7 euros for two sun loungers and an umbrella. The sand is pristine, and the water is warm and gentle, with no rocky terrain. The beach is impeccably clean, and the shower has excellent water pressure. Additionally, there is reliable Wi-Fi available for those who require it. A visit to this beach is a must-do activity while in Corfu.

During our exploration of Corfu's numerous beaches, we stumbled upon one that truly stood out. The sand was incredibly soft and the sea bottom was just as inviting. The temperature of the sea was perfect and the waves were minimal, allowing us to fully relax and appreciate the stunning views in the southern part of the beach. The only downside was the crowded parking lot, with a few cars blocking the road and causing a minor traffic jam. Despite this inconvenience, we found that our visit was well worth it and it ended up being one of our favorite days spent in Corfu. 😍

This particular beach stood out to us as the most enjoyable. The journey to reach it was pleasant, with a well-maintained road leading straight to the sand. Additionally, the parking was conveniently located just a few meters away. One of the best aspects of this beach was the lack of overcrowding, which allowed for a peaceful and relaxing experience. The water was exceptionally clear, with hardly any debris or other distractions in the sand.
