Why we chose Glyfada
If your perfect day in Corfu involves more swimming than sightseeing, this is the one we'd choose. Glyfada gives you one of the island's classic sandy beaches without having to organise taxis, transfers or beach equipment yourself.
Weather and timing
The tour is weather dependent. Transfer time depends on traffic, and the escort will give you the return time from Glyfada.

Glyfada Beach Escape — FAQs
Is this just a transfer to the beach?▼
No. The day is organised from the cruise pier: return transport, a reserved sunbed and umbrella, a bottle of water and a soft drink, and time at Glyfada. You do not have to arrange taxis or beach equipment yourself.
Are water sports included?▼
No. Water sports may be available independently at the beach, but they are not part of this excursion.
Is Glyfada better than Paleokastritsa for a cruise beach day?▼
Glyfada is the easier organised sandy beach day from the port. Paleokastritsa is the more dramatic coastline if scenery is the point — and it is a different product.
