💡 Tips
- The beach is primarily pebbles, so bringing or buying water shoes is highly recommended for comfortable walking and swimming.
- Green buses from Corfu Town stop here regularly, but the coastal road is quite winding, so prepare if you are prone to motion sickness.
- The beach has organized sections with sunbeds and free zones; arrive early in peak season if you want a front-row spot.
- For natural shade, look for the olive trees that grow towards the back of the beach in certain sections.

Barbati is a highly sought-after holiday destination situated on the photogenic north-eastern coast of Corfu island. Tucked away at the foot of the imposing Mount Pantokrator, the village provides a striking contrast between lush green mountains and the sparkling azure waters of the Ionian Sea. The area has evolved from a quiet fishing settlement into a bustling resort town that perfectly balances modern tourist amenities with authentic Greek charm. The coastline is the main draw for visitors, offering excellent swimming conditions. Barbati Beach is the centerpiece, an impressive, long stretch of white pebbles and shingle that has been awarded a Blue Flag for its exceptional cleanliness and water quality. It is fully organized with sunbeds, umbrellas, and various water sports facilities. A short distance away, Glyfa Beach provides a slightly more relaxed alternative, still featuring the same pristine waters and beautiful surroundings, well-suited for snorkeling and peaceful sunbathing. The village itself stretches along the coastal road, lined with a variety of traditional tavernas, international restaurants, cafes, and souvenir shops. Visitors can enjoy freshly caught seafood and classic Corfiot dishes while taking in panoramic views of the sea and the distant Albanian coastline. The combination of spectacular beaches and natural beauty makes Barbati a top choice for families and couples.
