This hidden beach is a true treasure! With no facilities and a lack of people, it's the perfect spot to escape the crowds. Even in the middle of the afternoon, there were only 12 individuals present on this stretch of sand. Although it may be narrow, there's enough room to lay out a chair or towel. The combination of pebbles and sand creates a unique texture underfoot. A handful of parking spots are accessible, but the steep road leading to the beach may pose a challenge for some.

The beach is absolutely stunning and the water is pleasantly warm. There aren't too many people around, so it's the perfect spot for some peaceful relaxation.

This beach may be petite, stretching no more than 5 to 6 meters wide, but it boasts a stunning view and crystal clear waters that make it perfect for children. The sand is soft and inviting, and there is a unique phenomenon to behold on the walls of the cliffs. Water from small weels up above causes the rocks to glisten in the sun, inviting visitors to leave their mark by drawing or writing on the wet walls or inserting small stones. As the day comes to a close, the sunset is a sight to behold. Without a doubt, this is a must-visit spot in Corfu.

This beach is a true gem, with its serene and cozy atmosphere. The rocks cast a soothing shadow, adding to the overall tranquility of the place. However, it is a shame that the water here isn't as crystal clear as in some other parts of Corfu Island.

This charming beach boasts a delightful blend of pebbles and sand, and remains blissfully unspoiled by the crowds of tourists that often flock to other coastal destinations.
