Glyfada Beach

Glyfada combines soft sand, a gradual entry and extensive resort services, with west-coast swell and dense summer demand to factor in.

Our take

A fully serviced west-coast bay below wooded hills

Glyfada spreads beneath wooded slopes on Corfu's west coast, with golden sand and enough restaurants, loungers and activities for a complete day. The broad centre is lively, while the ends provide a little more space around rock and vegetation.

Westerly weather can send waves and current into the bay despite the gentle-looking shore. Follow flags and keep children within supervised sectors. Buses serve the resort seasonally, but the steep approach road and limited peak-time parking reward an early start.
