When it comes to beaches extremely closely located to Corfu Town, the Gouvia Beach must not be overlooked. This small beach awarded the blue flag is a favorite destination for tourists holidaying in Corfu Town. But should visitors want not to be accommodated too far from the beach, they should keep in mind that a reasonable number of hotels and rooms and apartments for rent is available in the nearby surroundings of the beach. Boat hire operators and numerous eating venues contribute to the overall appeal of the beach.
The Kalami (or Kalamiones) Beach is a wide pebbly stretch awarded, as expected, the blue flag. It lies on the northeastern side of Corfu.
Another rather unmatched beach in the west of Corfu refers to the Myrtiotissa Beach, an excellent venue for those who know how to appreciate a stretch of sand
Given its location in the Ionian Sea, Corfu – which is the northernmost of all significant Ionian Island – makes possible trips to Albania (port of Saranda)
