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.

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
"Nestled along the coastline, a footpath leads to a quaint and private beach. Our time spent there was tranquil and serene, with crystal clear waters and a peaceful atmosphere. The beach was nearly empty, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the natural beauty of our surroundings. We relished in the simplicity and purity of this hidden gem."

While it's advisable to wear sturdy shoes, the path is also accessible in flip-flops. The breathtaking views and serene atmosphere make it a ..."

Is the beach good for sunbathing?
Gialiskari beach (Corfu island) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Gialiskari beach (Corfu island) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Gialiskari beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
