Liapades beach guide

Liapades beach (also called Gefyra) sits at the end of the road below the village of Liapades, in a sheltered bay just south of Paleokastritsa. The shore is fine shingle and coarse sand, and the water is clear and gets deep fairly quickly, which is good for snorkelling.

There are sunbeds and umbrellas, a couple of beach bars and seaside tavernas. Boats, pedalos and water taxis can be hired here to explore the coves along the coast to the south, including Rovinia.

Liapades is about 21 km from Corfu Town, around 45 minutes by bus. Parking at the beach is limited, and there are a few steps down to the sand.
