It is situated at a distance of 15 kilometers western to the town of Corfu, between the famous beaches of Ermones (4 kilometers at the North) and Glyfada (6 kilometers at the South).
The beach is not much organised, which fortunately keep almost intact its exquisite beauty.
A few taverns offer good food and the best afternoon view of the island, within an environment offering any thing you might desire: golden sun with crystal clear sea and a very rich seabed, a paradise for the divers, a small river with fresh and cool water, calmness that makes it nudism tolerant. You will find a few facilities for sea sports and facilities for boat renting.
It is an excellent beach; you will enjoy swimming very much and, once there, you will feel like staying there forever. If you are around on September, don’t miss to join the locals at the local feast (“panighyri”) in honor of Panaghia Myrtiotissa celebrated at the Monastery on the 24th of September.
Access to the beach from the capital (Corfu 15 kilometers far away) is possible by rented or private car and motorbikes. You will reach the beach by car via a dirt track; otherwise, you will leave your car at the parking and walk down the dirt track leading to the beach, for some 15-20 minutes. It may seem a bit tiring, but it is worth the effort. Thousands of visitors would agree with that! |
