Faliraki (Corfu Town) beach guide

Faliraki is a small bathing spot in Corfu Town, below the walls of the Old Fortress, reached by a short path from Arseniou Street. Instead of a beach, there are stone platforms and ladders into clear water, so water shoes are a good idea.

In summer there are sunbeds, a bar and a restaurant, which makes it an easy swim between sightseeing in the old town.
