User reviews
"The beach is absolutely lovely! The sand is great, and they offer sunbeds for a reasonable price of 8 euros per day for 2 sunbeds and an umbrella. There is plenty of space, and it's not too crowded. The shoreline is very shallow, making it perfect for kids. We spent several days here and couldn't find a better beach in Corfu. I highly recommend it."
Sylvester Marwick
"This beach on Corfu was definitely our favorite. It wasn't overly crowded, and the sea was stunningly beautiful and clean. The sand was a lovely golden color and had a fine texture. There weren't many dining options around, but overall, it was the perfect beach, especially for families with young children."
