Nissaki beach guide

Nissaki is a small pebble cove on the northeast coast, covered in large, smooth white pebbles. The water is clear turquoise and drops off quickly over a rocky seabed with lots of fish, which makes it very good for snorkelling.

Sunbeds come with the tavernas on the beach. There's boat hire and a diving centre at the little harbour, and excursion boats call at the jetty.

Nissaki is about 21 km from Corfu Town, and buses on the Corfu Town–Barbati–Nissaki route stop on the main road above. It's a steep walk down, and parking in the area is limited.
