Nice beach. Great accommodation. Limited to one small shop (mainly drinks and snacks) and one restaurant in October. But that meant it was nice and quiet. Good hiking and walking options. About 1 hour walk to Pelekas (more restaurants) or 1 hour walk to Mirtiotisa beach (lovely little clothing-optional beach).

Glyfada beach is especially interesting for children and teenagers. It's always fun with non-stop music. In the background is the town of Pelekas with wonderful pubs with local drinks and restaurants with local specialties and seafood.

Beach is beautiful. Very unspoilt , not too built up. This hotel has a beautiful view of the sea from the breakfast tables. Breakfast is great and very varied. Owners very welcoming. Rooms spacious and comfortable. All in all an excellent 3 star hotel. A bit isolated without a car (walking up that hill to get the bus is difficult in hot weather, however the bus service is good). Authorities could do a little better with rubbish in the area.

All of the staff are super-friendly, professional and accommodating. This made our trip an amazing experience. The hotel itself is extensive and has a lot of facilities and amenities and if we didn't venture outside of the hotel complex (which we did), it would not have been a negative, as the hotel provides everything you could need for a relaxing holiday by the beach/pool. We stayed on a half-board basis and this was a great experience, as the variety of food (every day) was amazing. There was not a single day during our 7 day stay where we felt that the food variety was insufficient or repetitive. And the quality of the food was also amazing. For our stay, we were provided with a voucher for a 3-course meal at one of the a-la-carte restaurants on the premises (the Asian one) and apart from a bottle of wine, which we had to pay for, the voucher covered a very substantial meal for the family - and the quality is of Michelin star quality in my opinion. The pools are big and there is a smaller pool for adults only as the resort does attract a lot of guests with young children. So that option was good to have. The beach if literally 1 minute's walk from the hotel and is a lovely beach with plenty of loungers to choose from. One of the best holidays in our experience and we will definitely be going back there again. It was my wife's birthday while we were there and the hotel sent a lovely chocolate mousse cake and prosecco for us celebrate it with a lovely congratulations card (and didn't charge for it either).

Glyfada consists of the lovely sandy beach, the Menigos apartments with associated mini market and restaurant with pool, a Domes hotel and 3 or 4 beach bars. There’s a small surf shack offering board rental at one end of the beach, with calmer waters at the other end for little ones. The beach bars close early evening which makes for a quiet Glyfada, but that meant we had a very limited choice of just 2 places to eat. The Gorgona had a good and varied menu, but the Akti Glifada served the best super fresh fish and salads. If you have a car, then we’d recommend visiting closeby Pelekas village which has many restaurants with views down to the sea, and also take an adventurous drive down to Pelekas beach where the waters are much calmer and there were several beach bars doing great trade, but be prepared to hire a sunbed as shade is limited.

Glyfada/Glifada is an isolated beach in the Western part of the island, right across the mountains ridge from Corfu Town. Even if it is close (about 10 km in a straight line), access is tricky due to the sinuous and poor roads. The best and cheapest option to get there is by bus (Green Busses) from Corfu Town or Terminal (very close to the Airport) - quality ferry coaches, for a very low price (~EUR 3 / fare, duration about 40'). There are a few restaurants - all offering Greek specialties and some pasta and pizza, not top, not a great variety, but, let's say, correct. Prices are almost as in Corfu Town. The beach and sea are excellent, safe, and nice, but with very few distractions. There are some options to rent boats or for short trips, but not very exciting. In the evenings, the place is invaded by young tourists, especially to join the DJ parties organized by the club Pazuzu. Good vibe and atmosphere but everything closes at 10.00 p.m. which is odd. Actually, in the late evening, there is not much to do there, from the few restaurants we found only one still serving after 10.30 (Gorgona). Summing up, a place for those looking more for sun&sea baths and low interest in exploration and mobility.
