Rovinia, Sand beach at Paleokastritsa Bay, Greece
Rovinia is a sand beach in Paleokastritsa Bay on Corfu's western coast, stretching between steep cliffs covered in Mediterranean vegetation. The beach has a mix of coarse sand and smooth shingle, offering a natural swimming experience without commercial development.
The beach is located near the village of Liapades and has remained undeveloped over the centuries. Despite the growth of tourism in the region, this location has kept its natural character.
The beach draws both local swimmers and travelers who seek a natural swimming spot without shops or restaurants nearby. People come here to escape busy beach areas and enjoy the untouched character of Corfu's western coast.
Visitors should bring their own supplies since the beach has no permanent facilities or shops. Access is by boat or steep walking paths, so wear comfortable shoes and allow extra time for the journey.
Underwater caves lie beneath the seabed and extend under the surrounding cliffs. These natural formations are accessible to experienced swimmers seeking an underwater adventure.
