However, the term “resort” doesn’t quite capture its essence. In truth, Glyfada boasts a splendid and bustling sandy beach, but it is far from a typical village. Instead, it gracefully unfolds as a cluster of scattered houses amidst the captivating hills of Central Corfu. Yet, we mustn’t overlook its utmost attraction—the stunning beach! Coupled with charming holiday accommodations, an extensive hotel complex, delightful restaurants, cozy tavernas, and even some picturesque beach tents, Glyfada offers an all-encompassing experience that captivates visitors from all walks of life.
Glyfada, situated on the enchanting Western coast of Corfu, exerts a magnetic pull on sun enthusiasts, water lovers, snorkelers, and an array of vacationers seeking coastal bliss. The fact that many Greeks themselves choose to frequent this beach speaks volumes about its unparalleled quality and the exceptional amenities it offers. No wonder it has earned the endearing moniker “The Golden Beach” among the locals—an epithet that holds true in every sense.
Especially during weekends, Glyfada Beach becomes a vibrant hub, drawing in swarms of Greeks. Alongside hordes of international tourists, they bask in the sun, indulging in the finest offerings graciously provided by local restaurants. The air is infused with an atmosphere of celebration and delight as everyone immerses themselves in the pleasures of life by the crystal-clear waters.
Glyfada is everything you’d dream of in a perfect beach destination: scorching sun, velvety soft sands, and the invigorating embrace of the salty sea. Thanks to the presence of rocks in the crystalline waters, snorkelers are in for a treat with an underwater world waiting to be explored. If you desire a more adventurous escapade, don’t miss the chance to rent a boat or a pedalo to uncover the captivating beauty of Corfu’s stunning West coast.
But that’s not all; Glyfada is synonymous with water sports! Thrill-seekers and water enthusiasts will find themselves in paradise, with an array of exhilarating activities to choose from. Whether it’s scuba diving, jet-skiing, or paddleboarding, the beach brims with opportunities for endless aquatic excitement.
