Glyfada
For couples and families who enjoy a sandy beach and a choice of beach bars
Fine sand, pine-covered cliffs and beach bars give Glyfada its west-coast setting. This central Corfu base is worth comparing when the shore, rather than proximity to the Old Town, should lead the accommodation search.
We would consider it for couples and families who want much of the day to revolve around a particular beach. Pick the section of sand first, then compare waterfront accommodation with addresses farther back. That helps distinguish a local beach routine from a stay built around driving to outings.
Ask how you reach the sand from the property entrance and where the beach bars sit. A sea-view photograph cannot describe either the final approach or your room’s relationship with the beachfront.
Our tip
Choose your preferred beach section before comparing rooms. Ask how you reach it and where the beach bars sit in relation to the accommodation.
