Rent a car Glyfada Corfu, Glyfada Beach Corfu

Glyfada is one of the most beautiful beaches of Corfu, a large sandy area in western Corfu surrounded by hills with olives and cypress trees, especially to the south, looking beyond the sea to Italy.

It is a beach with fine golden sand very close to Corfu town, only 15 km away and easily accessible since the road is good.

The name Glyfada comes from the word ‘glyfo’ which refers to water that is very salty, because in the past the area had many wells with brackish water.

Perhaps the most cosmopolitan beach of the island, many avoid it because of this characteristic and especially in August when it is full mainly of Italians.

August is also the time when it is difficult to find a free place due to the overcrowding.

In the era of the so-called high season, there is also the alternative of the beach of Agios Gordios which has almost the same characteristics.

Almost every year, it is awarded with a blue flag due to its clear waters, which gradually deepen as you move away from the coast, so it is a beach safe for young children.

During the day, you will see families crowd, enjoying the sand, the sun, and perhaps a meal in one of its taverns, but as the sun sinks behind the horizon the younger generations fill the beach bars and prepare for all-night parties.

It makes sense, since the beach combines tranquility and many beach bars that are addressed to young people and are open day and night.

But there are also sports enthusiasts since apart from renting canoes and bicycles, you can do various water sports and there is also a beach volleyball court.

Also, in the southern part of the beach the waves are more intense and you can do sailing and diving.

It is definitely a place for beach lovers, as here there is no village but tourist infrastructure.

Glyfada does not have many hotels or an intense nightlife, but it is a beautiful resort and the hotels, restaurants, bars and other shops that exist are enough to give it a cosmopolitan air and especially to create a romantic atmosphere after sunset that is here late and comes at 11pm.

Glyfada beach is popular during the hot summer months, since the best thing you can do here is relax.

There are no noisy nightclubs and no interesting attractions. It is a beach where one only enjoys nature, with picturesque sunsets that reach around midnight.

Pelekas village

With a spectacular view of central Corfu from the top of the hill, it is said that it was the favorite spot of Kaiser Wilhelm II. It was his observatory, since he came here from a path leading to the palace of Achilles in Gastouri.

From here you can see the city of Corfu, in the Gouvia Bay and up to the coast to Nissaki opposite, while at the forefront are the lush meadows of the Ropa valley.

The best time is in the afternoon to enjoy the view of the sunset, when the hills are painted with different shades of purple, while the sun sinks into the sea.

The taverns here welcome people who come to watch the spectacle that always attracts.
