Glyfada

If you are looking for a stunning sandy beach - probably the finest the island has to offer - then Glyfada should be on your list. There are several bars and tavernas around Glyfada beach as well as the usual hotels and a few apartments.

As with all Greek names, there are various translations of the name into English! I have spelling variations of Glifada and Gliffatha on some road maps. The signposts though say 'Glyfada'.

Who is the Resort for

Those looking for a sandy beach, bucket and spade holiday. Of note, during August the resort does become very crowded with Italians.

The Glyfada Beach

Type

Soft, golden sand.

Sunbeds

Yes. Included, is a small drinks table (with waiter service from the nearby tavernas), a rubbish bin and ashtray.

Facilities

Showers, toilets, changing rooms and a first aid center.

Child Suitability

Soft sand - no nearby road to worry about. The waves at times can become quite large though creating a strong current. Children should be supervised at all times (as with all beaches). There is a flag system operating and life guards patrolling in high season.

Accessibility

There is parking close to the beach - not sure if it is sufficient during peak times though. During the summer there is a small charge - for May and October it is free. From the parking areas are board walks to the sun bed areas.

Cleanliness and Urchins

The cleanest beach I have seen on Corfu. There are no Urchins.

Places of Interest

These rocks - swim able from the beach are popular for 'jumping'. Several travel shows and commercials have featured them. The highest point to dive or jump from is over 40 feet high.

Places Nearby

Miriotissa is a small bay to the north. There is a small monastery there and a quiet nudist beach!

How to get to Glyfada

Glyfada is well signposted on the main Corfu town to Paleokastritsas road. This road runs through the roper valley which has contrasting scenery to the rest of Corfu - hardly an olive tree in sight!

If you are driving from the North East Corfu coast, then opposite Gouvia on the map, head for the small village of 'Temploni'. From there, follow the sign posts.

Tavernas in Glyfada

There are several tavernas located along the beach of Glyfada.

Bars and Nightclubs in Glyfada

There are several bars along the beach of Glyfada.
The 'Aloha' bar is one of Corfu's trendy and is lively day and night - except early morning when I was there!

Water Sports in Glyfada

All the usual, including jet ski.

Boat Rental

There is the possibility to rent boats at Glyfada beach.

Shopping at Glyfada

There are not a lot of shopping possibilities at Glyfada. A couple of gift shops are located right next to the beach.

Supermarkets

There are two small supermarkets just off the beach of Glyfada.

Accommodation at Glyfada

There are two large hotels and some smart looking apartments very close to the beach.

Useful Glyfada Information

Exchange/Money

There is the possibility to exchange money and to cash traveller's cheques at the Glyfada Beach Hotel

Public Swimming Pools at Glyfada

There is a public swimming pool at one of the beach bars.

Telephone and Post Box

There are card phones towards the parking. There are post boxes close to the shops. You also can post your mail at the nearby hotel.

Children's Facilities

There is a public beach volley court as well as a public tennis court.

Disabled Facilities

Nothing of note, but the beach board walks are quite extensive - making walking up and down the beach easier.
