Beach Time on Corfu

Many people come to Corfu just to relax at the beach. The beaches are a bit different in that most are pebbled vs sandy, and many have “organized” areas with lounge chairs and umbrellas available for a fee (8-15e depending on how nice a lounger and how nice a beach). We initially were turned off by the pebbly beach, but then after spending some time on a sandy beach we decided it was nice NOT to have to deal with sand. The water is pleasant, not warm but not too cool- instead very refreshing! It’s been in the mid 70’s most days. The water is clear so you see small fish around you, and in some areas people snorkel or scuba.
We’ve tried to blend sightseeing with beach time. Most “organized” beach areas have changing areas so if it’s nice enough we change into our suits and find a comfy lounger to claim as our own for an hour or two. Photos are a sample of what we experienced on our beach outings. Heaven!Read more
