Marathias beach II (Ioanian Islands) is located outside the Potamia settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the coast of the Corfu island and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Marathias beach II with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

User reviews

"The beach is spacious and stretches out with soft sand, offering crystal-clear water. There are several restaurants available where you can easily rent an umbrella and sunbeds for a reasonable price of 8€ per day. We chose to park our vehicle in the parking lot of one of the restaurants. However, as the afternoon progressed, strong winds started to pick up."

Natalia Kozlov

"Although I'm not particularly fond of sandy beaches, this one truly captured my heart. The water is remarkably clear and pleasantly warm, while the sand feels incredibly soft. The best part is that sunbeds and umbrellas are provided free of charge! Additionally, there are numerous fantastic bars and ample parking available. I highly recommend this beach."
