Paramonas

Paramonas is a small west-facing beach area below the hills of south-west Corfu. Its scale and rural surroundings create a quieter atmosphere than the island's larger resorts.

It particularly suits couples and independent travellers looking for beach time, sunsets and a low-key base, with Agios Mattheos and other southern villages nearby.

A smaller west-coast beach stay

Paramonas is a place to focus on the shore, a meal and the surrounding rural scenery. Accommodation is smaller in scale than in some major resorts, but check the facilities of the precise property rather than extending one hotel's services to the whole destination. Seasonal beach facilities should also be confirmed for the section and dates you choose.

Planning beyond the beach

Agios Mattheos offers a separate inland outing and a change of scene. For a longer stay, ask where you will buy supplies and how you will reach evening meals if they are away from the property. Arrange transport rather than assuming a direct beach bus connection. If visiting for sunset, establish the return drive or transfer before the evening. A quiet setting can be part of the appeal without requiring a packed sightseeing schedule.

Getting around, beaches and evenings

Paramonas is best reached by car or scooter.
