Barbati Beach on Corfu is one of the most beautiful destinations for those who appreciate a natural setting and relaxation, as well as for anyone who wants to enjoy the crystal-clear waters, awarded the Blue Flag for their cleanliness.

To reach the beach, you need to follow the roads leading from the main road to the sea. These roads are mostly paved but narrow and winding, typical of Corfu’s coastline. Although well-maintained, some sections are quite steep, so we recommend driving slowly. Additionally, these roads offer a stunning panoramic view of the surroundings and the deep blue Ionian Sea.

Finding a free parking spot can be a real challenge, even for the most patient drivers, due to the limited number of parking spaces and the high number of visitors. We advise arriving early if you want to secure a parking spot.

Located along a coastline rich in coves and hidden caves, this stunning pebbly beach, with white stones, coarse sand, and turquoise-clear waters, is perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and various water activities, including boat rentals. With its deep seabed, a mix of sand and pebbles, Barbati is particularly suitable for experienced swimmers and diving enthusiasts, offering a unique underwater experience.

The beach is mostly organized, with sunbeds and umbrellas available along the shore. Prices vary depending on the beach bar, allowing visitors to choose the option that best suits them. The remaining space is open to visitors with their own equipment, and the beach also provides additional amenities such as showers and changing cabins.

For those who prefer natural shade, large olive trees offer shelter from the sun, while those who enjoy a livelier atmosphere can visit one of the beach bars serving snacks, light meals, and refreshing drinks.

Barbati is not just a beach but also a charming village offering much more than just the sea. Located near Mount Pantokrator, it provides breathtaking views of Corfu’s old town, the Venetian fortress, and the distant Albanian mountains. The village is divided into two parts—the first, closer to the coast, is livelier and filled with bars and shops, while the second is quieter, surrounded by olive groves. For those seeking peace and relaxation, the second part of Barbati is the perfect choice, accessible via narrow, unpaved roads.
