Barbati Beach

Barbati Beach is one of the most popular on Corfu’s east coast. It is surrounded by dramatic hills including Mount Pantokrator, the tallest on the island. The beach itself extends for roughly 1.6 kilometres of pale pebbles and faces south into a large concave arc of bays. This ensures the warm clear waters here are relatively tranquil and good for swimming, although there is a steep shelf not far from shore.

The beach is a ten-minute walk from the closest road and parking, with a path leading through attractive olive groves. When it comes to facilities, Barbati Beach is set up with changing rooms, showers, and toilets. Sunbeds and umbrellas are available to rent, while fans of water sports won’t be disappointed either, with kayaking, windsurfing, and motorboat rides all possible.
