Mirtiotissa Beach

Reviewed By danielvanloo - Pontefract, United Kingdom

An amazing place and well worth the trip. The last kilometre is a bit of a nightmare so check your brakes work ! It's a nudist beach but plenty of people leave their swimwear on. We didn't and now have beautiful all over tans. You're not seeing a picture though you cheeky readers. There is a lovely lady called Amelia who rents out sunbeds for just 3 euros each and a parasol for another 2 . Very reasonable. She also serves drinks and an ice cold beer or wine is only 2.50. She is a lovely friendly lady and doesn't take advantage of her monopoly but charging a fortune. The water is crystal clear, the sand is soft and we came here 4 times. Make that visited 4 times. ...!!! It's a little corner of heaven. Make sure you leave only footprints and take only photos. Although be careful when pointing your camera ... some people might not want pics of their bits taking! Thank you corfu. Now I'd better put some after sun on my bumcheeks as it was still 27c even in mid October.

Myrtos Beach

Reviewed By Brewsteronthebeach

A beach so spectacularly blue you have to pinch yourself hour after hour to check you are not dreaming. The water is immensely clear and the blueness goes on forever. It is a cove surrounded by luscious green mountains - with mountain goats for added Greek authenticity and the white sand is like silk upon the soles of Your feet. The waves are strong and the current powerful which makes it difficult to get out for a swim but it is immensely fun playing around in the waves on the vast shoreline. There are umbrellas and sun beds for a small fee of 3.50 each and a little beach bar with showers and toilets. I would recommend getting here before midday as the car park got quite busy. On the way down to the beach you must stop off at the viewpoint and film the panoramic views of the mountains meeting the ocean - I have never seen a view like it. Only A couple of warnings would be there are paragliders which land on the beach so be careful to stay out of there way and be careful with children playing in the sea without an adult. As I said the waves are powerful and will. Drag you under if you are not careful. I cannot recommend a beach to go to more highly than this for a perfect peaceful and fulfilling day on your travels.

Arillas Beach

Reviewed By andysmith1925 - England, United Kingdom

This beach is well suited to families in the central area with the usual sunbeds, brollies and showers. The north and south beaches are textile optional and both are sheltered by high cliffs. Access to the south and north beaches is sometime limited by high water levels and wading may be needed in places.

Porto Katsiki

Reviewed By J_Jurate - Vilnius, Lithuania

Picture perfect beach in Lefkada. High cliffs and clear blue water makes a perfect getaway. Make sure you come early in high season as parking lots aren’t very spacious. Windy road to get there but not too difficult to reach it.

Agiofilli Beach

Reviewed By ramonramzi - Island of Malta, Malta

Agiofili beach is spectacular + great for snorkeling. Seen alot of big fish and small. There were moments that in front of me alot of fish, great experience. Who likes to dive from high cliffs there is a cliff where to jump from (the photo uploaded) This beach (in my opinion) is best reached with ferry from Vasiliki Port, its hassle free... They say you can walk it but I didnt experience that so cant tell if its easy or hard. Ferry is € 7 per person, with return to Vasiliki Port and will operate every hour. Enjoy :)
