Think The Corfu Palace used to be rent bungalows for the day, could be worth contacting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iancal Posted June 13, 2021 #4 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Corfu is not the best island for a beach day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennybear Posted June 13, 2021 #5 Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) I’m surprised by the comments, we’ve visited beaches on Corfu numerous times. Paleokastritsa is one of the most beautiful beaches near a monastery and you can take a tour there or rent a car or go by taxi. The only problem is that the water was very cold when we were there mid summer. Our best excursion ever was when we chartered the boat Nautilus for a cruise and swim around the island. Last time, we just took a taxi to a very uncrowded beach and enjoyed a lovely time, followed by a late lunch in town. I think it was 20 Euros one way. Just make sure to arrange for a return time.

Sorry, but did look closely, for the time of year, in one’s opinion, it’s still rammed Plus seeing that many umbrellas and beds on a beach, pass.

bennybear Posted June 13, 2021 #9 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I think the photo helps the OP decide for themselves. Although I think a private boat charter is the best. Would love to see your photo of the town beach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare irvington Posted June 14, 2021 #10 Share Posted June 14, 2021 If the reason for the beach day is swimming I concur about organizing a boat tour through Nautilus. He took us to several coves where our boat was the only one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glyfada beach We stayed in Glyfada for several days. You can get there by public bus in about ten minutes or so. Come out of the cruise terminal, turn right, walk along the curved area to the light. If I recall you can catch a bus every few minutes. Drops you off at the town...walk through the tourist area and 5 minutes later you are at the beach. We did not find it very clean when we were there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
