According to many travel guides there is one most beautiful sandy beach in Corfu, just way ahead of others. The golden, sandy, soft miracle can be found in Glyfada, a resort situated oon the west coast. Reviews on the place may differ a bit yet they all agree on one fact: Glyfada never becomes overcrowded, even in August, the time when Italians onslaught the island. It is not a place for those who seek all night parties.
Glyfada is best for families with kids, spades, colourful moulds and bouquets are indispensable. Sand castles grow reaching spectacular heights. Moreover waters are there peaceful and shallow. Perfect for small children. Yet there are also attractions for teenagers and adults. Maybe the most famous landmark in Glyfada are rocks clearly visible from the shore and swim-accesible from the beach. They were used in few commercials and unchangeably have their place in every travel guide mentioning Glyfada. Those brave and bold do climb them <the highest point is over 40 feet high over the water surface> and have jumps that undeniably rise their blood pressure a lot. There is alsoa centre of watersports in glyfada: one that deserves to be mentioned is jet skiing!
Not far away from glyfada there is Mitotissa: a place where a small and quiet monastery is located. Surprisingly there is also a nudist beach in close proximity to the holy place!
