Mon Repos beach guide

Mon Repos beach is at the southern end of Garitsa Bay, a walk from the centre of Corfu Town, next to the wooded grounds of the Mon Repos estate. It's a small pebble beach with clear water and a relaxed, local feel.

The villa in the park was built in the 1820s and 1830s, and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, was born there. From the beach you can walk on into the park, past the ruins of ancient Corfu, down to the Kardaki spring.
