Glyfada Corfu Resort Guide: Beach, Restaurants, Bars & Things To Do

Glyfada is one of Corfu’s most famous beach resorts, known for its golden sand, dramatic green cliffs, organised beach clubs, clear blue water, watersports and beautiful west-coast sunsets.

This is not a traditional village resort with old lanes and a harbour. Glyfada is mainly about the beach. The whole area is built around one wide, scenic bay, with hotels, apartments, beach bars, restaurants, sunbeds and resort facilities close to the sand.

It is one of the best places in Corfu if you want a proper beach holiday. You can swim, sunbathe, order cocktails, try watersports, stay for sunset, and spend the whole day without needing to move far.

Glyfada works well as both a place to stay and a day-trip beach. It is especially popular with travellers staying in Corfu Town, Pelekas, Ermones, Gouvia, Kontokali, Dassia or central Corfu who want a classic west-coast beach day.

Choose Glyfada if you want sand, sunbeds, beach clubs, cocktails, watersports, sunsets and easy beach-day energy.
