Visit Glyfada Beach
Glyfada has to be one of the best beaches in Corfu if not Greece. It is a long stretch of sand that gently shelves into the sea. It's famous amongst Athenians for being THE beach to visit in Corfu and therefore in August it does get very crowded with Greeks and also Italians.

8.
Visit Mytiotissa Beach
Myrtiotissa is a fantastic spot, a stretch of sand with crystal clear waters
that is reached by a very steep rough road. Because of it's
location the steep cliffs surrounding the beach have prohibited any building
of hotels or bars, it literally is just the beach with a couple of sandwich
shacks.
