Best beaches in Corfu

The beach is really nice and boasts light sand with pebbles scattered throughout. It's a great spot to soak up the sun and relax with the sound of the waves in the background.

Having breakfast right on the beach is priceless! While it may not be the most luxurious or extravagant hotel, the staff are incredibly friendly and the location is superb—just a short walk to the main town and literally steps away from the beach. I couldn't find any faults with the hotel itself, but Benitses as a whole could use some footpaths since the main road through town is quite busy. If I return to Corfu, I would definitely stay here again.

I lived there for 4 months in the early 70’s, sleeping under the olive trees on the top of the hill above, eating at a taverna owned by Spiro and Maria who had one daughter named Fadna. Everyone ate whatever Maria cooked, Spiro kept a tab for each person and gave us a shot of ouzo when we settled our tab. There were people from everywhere but only 2 of us from the US! We took showers in fresh water that came off the hillside onto the beach. I’m grateful I had that experience before it became developed!

We stumbled upon a magnificent beach that caught our eye while passing by and decided to stay. It's an ideal spot for families with children as it stretches for a long distance. Although the beach is pebbly, the water is crystal clear and turquoise, and after a mere 2 meters, the sand becomes the finest and softest white sand. The water remains shallow for quite some time, making it safe for children to swim. Kids can also enjoy an inflatable water park available at 10 euros per person per day. The beach is lined with restaurants and shops, and parking is available on the road. We discovered an enchanting Patisserie named Sugar nearby and savored some fantastic coffee there. The beach provides showers and changing cabins, and the water is notably warmer compared to the West coast of Corfu.

Diese Bucht ist der absolute Hammer, doch darf man auch den Weg dorthin nicht unterschätzen, teilweise muss man sich von Seil zu Seil hangeln, sportlich muss man auf jedenfall sein bei dieser Tour.

I might have overlooked this place if it hadn't been recommended by some locals. This mostly seafood-focused taverna is a hidden gem, renowned across the Ionian Sea for its fantastic stuffed calamari. We easily got a table at sunset, right on the seafront edge. The dishes were incredible, fresh, and bursting with authentic flavors from the mussels, calamari, and the most succulent grilled pork chop. If it weren't our last day, we would definitely be back tomorrow.
