Location

Corfu, West coast

Beach Name

Glifada, or Glyfada

My Rating Overall

4=very good beach, would go out our way to swim there again

Beach

S=sand

Sea Floor

S=sand (sandy beach)

Water

4=sea water was excellent and inviting for swimming. We would go out of our way to swim there again

(just my own unscientific observation of the water feel and appearance)
My family and I enjoy the water when it is crystal clear, and cool instead of warm. We don' like to see any visible floating particles of any kind or algae settled on the beach.

Clothing

Topless sunbathing is common
Some nudists occupied the South end of the beach.

Access

Good=paved road all the way to the beach, parking near the beach

Amenities

R=restaurant (on the beach)
B=bar (on the beach)
C=cantina (on the beach)
T=town within walking distance
H=hotel on the beach

The restaurants located on the beach are very expensive and the food not very good (especially the buffet-style restaurant that dominates the beach). A walk further up the road would yield better and more reasonably priced restaurants.

RV / Camper Accessibility

N= Campers explicitly forbidden, or the site is unsuitable for RV parking

Snorkeling

4=very interesting underwater landscape for snorkeling would travel from afar to snorkel

Snorkeling around the rocks at the south and north ends or Glifada beach

Notes

It can get very crowded during July and August, and finding parking can be difficult.
