On the western side of Corfu, one of the most picturesque beaches is represented by the Agios Gordis Beach which offers a stunning scenery and excellent conditions for sunbathing. The nearby village of Sinrades turns the beach into a convenient destination, and the many lounge chairs, umbrellas and certain water sports facilities stand out as the main ingredients for a wonderful time spent at the beach. The beach has been awarded the blue flag, another plus referring to its location just 16 kilometers westwards from Corfu Town.
Located only 45 minutes from Corfu Town there lays the resort of Messongi (or Messonghi). Apollon Palace and Messongi Beach Hotel are the most known hotels.
The Gardenos Beach is less famous among most of the visitors coming to Corfu in view of sunbathing.
The Messonghi Beach belongs to the homonymous resort which is a favorite destination for tourists coming to Corfu.
