Kontokali beach guide
Kontokali has small beaches on the sheltered shore of Gouvia Bay, close to Corfu's main marina and only a few kilometres from Corfu Town. The shore is a mix of pebbles and sand.
Because the bay is sheltered from the wind, the water is calm and good for swimming. Much of the beach is in front of a large hotel but open to the public, with showers and sunbeds and umbrellas to rent. It was awarded a Blue Flag in 2026.
