Petriti Beach

A small village beach beside Petriti's fishing harbour, offering calm water and an authentic south-east Corfu atmosphere.

Petriti Beach has a sand, pebble shoreline. Easy access from Petriti village and harbour.

Food or drink is available at the beach or immediately nearby.

What to expect

The shoreline is predominantly a mixture of sand and pebble. Beach shoes can be useful, particularly when entering and leaving the water. The sandy sections are comfortable for anyone planning to spend several hours on the beach. It is a compact beach, which gives it an intimate feel but means space can become limited at the busiest times of day.

Swimming and sea conditions

The setting is comparatively sheltered and the sea is often calm in settled summer weather, although conditions can always change. It is generally a family-friendly option, with normal supervision around the water.

Who this beach suits

This beach is particularly well suited to swimming, seaside dining and local beaches. Its quieter character is part of the appeal, particularly if you want to get away from the island's busier resort beaches.

Facilities

There are organised sections in season, making it easier to settle in for a full beach day. Sunbeds and parasols are available for hire on the village beach. Several well-known fish tavernas line the Petriti waterfront. The emphasis is more on swimming and relaxing than on a large watersports programme. Useful beach amenities include toilets, showers and changing facilities.

Getting there and practical information

Planning your visit
