Apotripiti
Apotripiti is a small sandy beach on the northwestern coast of Corfu with clear shallow water ideal for swimming. Rocky formations frame the cove, and two small islands offshore are easy to reach by swimming, offering a chance to explore just beyond the main shoreline.
The area around Apotripiti has drawn visitors for many years and retains the peaceful character of Corfu's traditional coastline. The beach remains shaped by natural forces, with coastal erosion gradually changing its appearance over time.
The beach is known locally as a gathering place where families and friends come to relax away from busy tourist spots. Visitors experience a simple way of life here, with children playing in the sand and people enjoying the sea at their own pace, without commercial structures that would overwhelm the natural setting.
Access is via a steep path from a small parking area, so wear comfortable shoes and plan your descent. The beach offers sunbed and umbrella rentals, and a small beach bar provides drinks and snacks for a casual rest.
A shallow pool area with natural clay allows visitors to apply mud for skincare treatments, an unexpected feature that many visitors overlook. This natural formation adds a surprising wellness element to a simple beach visit.
