A sunset-facing sandy bay beneath Corfu's green interior
Agios Gordios descends from Corfu's wooded centre into a long west-coast bay. Restaurants and accommodation line the middle, while walking north or south brings quieter sand and the Ortholithi sea stack into view.
The beach faces prevailing swell and can shift from easy swimming to rough water quickly. Check flags before choosing the quieter unsupervised ends. Buses avoid the need to park on steep village streets, and footwear helps where sand gives way to pebble and rock.
