Issos beach, Sand beach in Agios Georgios, southern Corfu, Greece.

This extensive sandy coastline stretches for approximately three kilometers along the southwestern coast of Corfu, featuring soft golden sand bordered by natural dunes and the protected Korission lagoon ecosystem.

Issos beach lies within the Korission lagoon complex, a coastal wetland in southwestern Corfu. The lagoon formed when sand carried by currents and wind closed off a shallow inlet, and the dunes behind Issos are part of that same sand system. The area was later brought into the Natura 2000 network, which limited building along this stretch of coast.

The name Issos is linked to the nearby Korission lagoon, whose Greek name Limni Korission comes from the Korissia family; the lagoon is a Natura 2000 site. The beach marks the western edge of that protected area, and the dune sand visible in the photograph is held in place by the dry stems and low scrub at the crest.

Accessible by car through narrow winding roads from Chlomos village, the beach offers basic facilities including parking areas, limited refreshment vendors, and equipment rentals, though visitors should bring adequate supplies and sunscreen.

Issos lies beside the Korission lagoon, separated from the sea by a band of sand dunes held in place by juniper and lentisk scrub. The dune crest in the photograph is bare, marked only by footprints and a few dry stems, because the sand shifts with the wind and little holds root there.
