Best Beaches in Corfu for Swimming?

[axariotisxy]

I am looking for recommendations on the best beaches for swimming. I’m particularly interested in spots with clear, calm waters and beautiful surroundings. Whether it's a popular beach or a hidden gem, I’d love to hear your favorites!

Are there any specific beaches that are known for their pristine waters or great swimming conditions? Also, any tips on avoiding crowded spots during peak season would be much appreciated. Thanks so much!

If you're looking for clear, calm waters and beautiful surroundings, I highly recommend Elafonissi Beach in Crete. The pink-tinged sand and shallow, turquoise waters make it perfect for swimming.

Another great spot is Myrtos Beach in Kefalonia, famous for its striking blue waters surrounded by towering cliffs. For something more secluded, try Voutoumi Beach on the island of Antipaxos—its crystal-clear waters are breathtaking, and it's less crowded.

To avoid the peak season crowds, consider visiting early in the morning or later in the afternoon. Also, try to explore some of the smaller, lesser-known beaches nearby—locals often have hidden gems that aren't on the tourist radar.
