Is Barbati a sandy beach?

No, Barbati is a pebble beach, so water shoes are handy. Facilities: sunbeds, taverna, watersports, and snorkelling.

Is it easy to park at Barbati?

Paid parking. Spaces are limited and fill up early in summer, so arrive before 10:00 or come by scooter or bus. It's a 5 minute walk from the road.

When is Barbati least crowded?

It's one of Corfu's most popular beaches: in July and August it's busiest from 12:00 to 16:00, so arrive before 10:00 or after 17:00. Outside June–September it's quiet all day.

Which wind is best for swimming at Barbati?

The beach faces east, so it's calmest when the wind blows from the west and gets waves when it blows from the east. It stays sheltered when the summer maistros (northwesterly) blows, which makes it a good choice on windy afternoons.

Barbati beach guide

Barbati is a long pebble beach on the northeast coast, beneath the slopes of Mount Pantokrator and its olive groves. The water is calm and clear, but it gets deep quickly, which suits confident swimmers and snorkellers better than small children.

There are sunbeds at several price levels, beach bars, boat hire and watersports, and a few olive trees give some natural shade. The resort itself is quiet; for nightlife, people head to Ipsos, a little further south.

Barbati is about 19 km north of Corfu Town on the coast road through Dassia and Ipsos, a drive of 30–40 minutes, and the Corfu Town–Kassiopi buses stop there.
