Myrtiotissa beach, Naturist beach on western coast of Corfu, Greece
The golden sand of Myrtiotissa extends between tall cliffs covered with vegetation, with large rocks emerging from the clear waters of the Ionian Sea.
The Myrtiotissa monastery, built in the 15th century above the beach, was established by Father Daniel following a vision of the Virgin Mary in a local cave.
Novelist Gerald Durrell declared this isolated Corfu beach as the most beautiful location on the entire planet in his written works.
The beach is accessible via a steep path from the main road, with parking available approximately one kilometer away from the shore.
Natural sand erosion has significantly reduced the size of the beach compared to its dimensions in the 1980s, transforming its physical characteristics.
