West Coast · Sandy & Scenic
Glyfada & Agios Gordios
Glyfada is one of Corfu’s most celebrated west-coast beaches, approximately 17 km from Corfu Town. The broad sandy bay faces the afternoon sun with calm, clear water and a gentle slope into the sea. Pine-studded hills and olive groves frame the shore, while tavernas and cafés provide the full contemporary beachside experience. Sunbeds and umbrellas are available for hire on site.
A few kilometres south, Agios Gordios is a quieter stretch of sandy beach backed by a dramatic vertical rockface. The atmosphere is notably more relaxed and the swimming is equally enjoyable. Both are easily reached with your private driver and worth the journey.
✓ Two of Corfu’s best west-coast beaches ✓ Sunbeds available on site ✓ Tavernas and cafés at both
East Coast & Hidden Coves
Dassia, Paleokastritsa & More
If you prefer a narrower, pebbly beachside with a perfect view of the Albanian coast and mountains in the distance, Dassia on the northeast coast is an excellent alternative. The strip is quieter than the west-coast beaches and offers a completely different perspective on the island.
For those drawn to Corfu originally by photographs of Paleokastritsa, we can take you there too. The six sandy and pebbled bays surrounded by lush olive forests and local taverns overlooking the pristine blue water are as beautiful in person as any photograph suggests. Your driver will recommend the best beach for your preferences if you are undecided.

Your beach day
Swimming, scenery, and a flexible plan
Private car, your choice of beaches, and your own schedule for the day.
Sandy shores
Glyfada Beach
Glyfada combines a long sandy beach with a lively atmosphere, pine-studded hills, and clear water. The walk-in access and gradual depth make it comfortable for all ages. Sunbeds and umbrellas are available on the beach. It is usually the first or main stop on this tour, with cafés and tavernas a short walk away.
Relaxed and quiet
Agios Gordios
Agios Gordios is a long, quieter beach with a dramatic rocky backdrop. The atmosphere is noticeably calmer than the more popular beaches, and the swimming conditions are usually good. It makes a natural second stop when combined with Glyfada on a half-day beach route.
Scenic and hidden
Mirtiotissa & Coves
Mirtiotissa offers the kind of scenery that is hard to find without a private car and a driver who knows the road. Olive trees, clear water, and very few crowds make it a worthwhile detour for anyone who wants to see a less-developed part of Corfu’s coastline.
