Bataria Beach

We embarked on a journey to the picturesque town of Kassiopi, taking the Green buses line from Corfu. Despite the heavy traffic in some areas, the bus ride was a pleasant one, lasting for approximately an hour and a half. Upon arrival, we were thrilled to discover that the beach was a mere 10-minute walk away from the bus stop. Before heading to the beach, we stopped by a convenient supermarket located in front of the bus stop to stock up on snacks and drinks for our beach day.
The walk to the beach was a delightful one, as we were greeted by the mesmerizing blue, turquoise, and crystal-clear waters. As we gazed into the horizon, we were able to catch a glimpse of the stunning mountain range in Albania. Although the beach was composed of pebbles and rocks, we were able to rent sunbeds and umbrellas, which proved to be the best option for us. However, if you're comfortable laying on the pebbles or rocks, there is ample space to do so as well.
For two sunbeds and an umbrella, we paid around 7€, which was a reasonable price for a day of relaxation on this serene beach.

This beach is a definite must-visit for its incredible seafood and inviting atmosphere! The place is stunning and the service is exceptional. I tried the scallops, tataki, and prawns, and they were all perfect and incredibly tasty.

This petite beach boasts a mere ten umbrellas available for rent at a reasonable seven euros per set. Its natural and untamed appearance may appeal to some, but others may find it a tad unkempt. Be sure to wear shoes when entering the water due to the sizable rocks present. However, the trees surrounding the area provide ample natural shade. Unfortunately, we were deterred by an unpleasant odor and did not linger long. With proper upkeep, this beach could potentially become a hidden treasure.
