PLAGE DE MARIDATI
Read moreIn an engraving of 1618, the small bay of Maridati is mentioned, as it is very likely that Venetian ships used to dock there for water supplies! It is a very pretty cove with a beach of small pebbles and some white sand at the water's edge and an azure sea. A few tamarisk trees are the only shelter to protect you from the sun! It is close to Palekastro and usually does not attract too many people, hence its extra charm. You can spend the whole day there. Tavern by the water.

ALIMNIA
Read moreThis islet is now uninhabited and can only be reached by boat from the port of Nimborios, but offers some superb and deserted beaches... Indeed, the islet was abandoned after having served as a naval base during the Second World War. Since then, there has been an almost strange atmosphere. The church of the abandoned village, the Saint-Georges church, is still in working order: it is used for a few rare local celebrations. On the heights of the village, a ruined fortress offers magnificent views of Halki and the surrounding area.
MOSCHATOU
Read moreNo real interest but guarantees a little solitude. After 25 minutes, you will arrive at a small chapel, Saint-Jean-le-Théologian, which was built in 1650. The key is often on the door so do not hesitate to return, even if the interior is quite sober. At the end of walking, you will discover a farm farmhouse. By climbing on the small hill on the left (medium sports), you will see Patmos and his white Chora.
ALINDA ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE
Read moreThis archaeological site, ruins of the Hellenistic era, is only 22 km northwest of the Turkish town Muğla. The story of Alinda is linked to an interesting episode in the life of Alexander the Great. Ada, daughter of Hécatomne, sovereign of Decay, rises on his father's throne after the death of his brother and husband, Hidriée, but she is chased by her other brother, Othondopatos. Having fled to Alinda, she met Alexander who had just invaded the region. She promised him to help him conquer Carie and, to prove the honesty of his intentions, proposed it to adopt it. Alexander accepts, concedes Concède and can then easily conquer Cavities. However, it recognizes the former republics of the region and allows them to retain their autonomy.
LE NORD D'ASTYPALAIA
Read moreThe northern half of Astypalaia is a little greener than the rest of the island, but also a little out of time. Whether it's Maltezana or the tiny anchorage of Vathi, it's still a long way from the tourist hustle and bustle of Chora, its port and Livadia. The Vathi area is particularly remarkable in this respect, with few visitors venturing into this Greek fjord. A 2-hour walk to the north will take you into the Cave of the Dragon, with its impressive stalagmites and stalactites.

CANAL DE LEFKIMMI
Read moreNot far from the beach, the village of Lefkimmi is crossed by a river where fishermen moor their boats. This charming spot is also marked by a bridge linking the two banks. It's a place that still preserves the customs and traditions of yesteryear. You'll often see women on donkeys, for example. It's a pleasant walk. Following the scenic riverside road, you'll find the sandy beach of Boukas, 1.5 km away. Its shallow, clear, warm waters make it ideal for children.
BOUKA BEACH
Read moreThe port village of Lefkimmi is also great for swimming. The village center is about two kilometers from the sea. Fishing boats are moored along a canal that can be followed to Bouka beach. Close to the mouth of the river, it's a nice little beach, especially before taking a boat. Accessible by car, it is equipped with showers, changing rooms and deckchairs for a fee. But the water is transparent and very warm in season. And it's much less crowded than other beaches on the island.
PLAGE
Read moreOn the west coast of the island of Corfu, Agios Gordios is a seaside resort with a large beach, undoubtedly one of the most beautiful on the island. It's a charming place, with a large stretch of sand, transparent water and nature. Some restaurants let you use their umbrellas and deckchairs free of charge if you buy something from them. Otherwise, you'll have to pay 10 to 15 euros for two. This beach is well worth a visit. There's parking nearby and water sports in the bay.
PLAGE
Read moreMessongi beach itself is not particularly interesting compared with the other stretches accessible on the west coast. Nonetheless, it offers crystal-clear waters and good swimming. The beach is also well organized, with numerous restaurants, tavernas and beach bars along the waterfront. It is close to a particularly rich hotel offer. It will appeal to families in particular, but also to holidaymakers based here who stop off at the end of the day after exploring the island.
PLAGE
Read moreBenitses beach is vast, stretching from the marina to the south of the resort. If it's not crowded, the water is clear. In season, it's easy to walk around and get away from the crowds. There's hardly any sand, but the pebbles are really small and you can walk on them comfortably. The beach is pleasant, quiet and well equipped. Not as spectacular or charming as the west coast beaches, it's still perfect for a relaxing moment, especially with children.
PANORAMA D'AGIOS GORDIOS
Read moreA small observation deck on the road to the beach. And here is perhaps one of the most beautiful views on the island, and certainly the most dazzling view of Agios Gordios, the coast and one of Corfu's most beautiful sandy beaches. Parking is not easy, but it's a great place to stop off on your way to or from the village. It's also possible to walk from the village to this viewpoint. It's a fairly strenuous walk, but well worth it! In that case, allow 45 minutes to an hour's walk from the middle of the village.
PARALIA ISSOS
Read moreMagnificent. Soft sand and greenery in the dunes. This beach is ideal for a stroll or a lazy day. It's a pleasant beach for families, especially with young children: sandy beach, clear water, ample parking. For the rest of you, rest assured, there's plenty of space, even in season. There are a few deckchairs and umbrellas, but not many. Be sure to bring water, snacks and food, as there aren't many options. There's a small bar close to the beach entrance from the parking lot.
