Latest reviews on Glyfada's beaches

Agios Gordios beach
8 Adam Van Der Meer

While not the most exceptional beach on the island of Corfu, it still holds its own charm and provides a pleasant experience. The beach is dotted with lively beach bars and restaurants that offer a package of two sunbeds and an umbrella for a reasonable €10, with some even throwing in two complimentary drinks or beers. However, parking can be a bit of a nightmare, so it's best to try and find a spot on the roadside before reaching the three-way crossing. The beach itself offers a mix of sandy and rocky areas, catering to a variety of preferences.

Myrtiotissa beach
9 Bonnie Peterson

I lived there for 4 months in the early 70’s, sleeping under the olive trees on the top of the hill above, eating at a taverna owned by Spiro and Maria who had one daughter named Fadna. Everyone ate whatever Maria cooked, Spiro kept a tab for each person and gave us a shot of ouzo when we settled our tab. There were people from everywhere but only 2 of us from the US! We took showers in fresh water that came off the hillside onto the beach. I’m grateful I had that experience before it became developed!

Glass beach
9 Mallorca feelings

Diese Bucht ist der absolute Hammer, doch darf man auch den Weg dorthin nicht unterschätzen, teilweise muss man sich von Seil zu Seil hangeln, sportlich muss man auf jedenfall sein bei dieser Tour.

Chomi beach
10 Eliam Starlyn

This beach is supposedly the best on Corfu, but let's be real, it's nothing special. Sure, it's not crowded and there are no pesky shops or annoying music, but that doesn't mean it's worth the effort of getting there. You have to take a boat, which will set you back a whopping 70 euros for the day or 30 euros per person for a tour. And don't even think about bringing the kids - the waves are way too strong for them to handle. Save your money and go to a beach that's actually worth the trip.

Glyfada beach
10 Nolan Jarek

This stretch of coastline boasts a seemingly endless expanse of soft, inviting sand. For those seeking a bit of added comfort, sunbeds are on offer at a reasonable rate ranging from 20-50€. However, if you choose to bring your own gear, there's plenty of space to spread out and soak up the sun. It's worth noting that parking comes at a small fee of 5€, but the convenience is well worth it. Overall, this beach is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a relaxing day by the sea.
