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.
