Sand dunes and coastline in South West Corfu

Gardenos

A Natural Sandy Beach in Corfu's Far South West

ABOUT

Gardenos is part of South West Corfu. A relaxed sandy beach area in southern Corfu, known for natural surroundings, open space and a quieter atmosphere.

Gardenos is a long sandy beach in the far south-west, reached through the countryside around Vitalades. The setting is open and relatively low-key, with the beach and natural surroundings as the main draw.

It appeals to travellers looking for quieter beach time and makes a good stop during a wider exploration of southern Corfu. It is particularly well suited to visitors interested in beaches, quiet holidays, nature, couples and relaxing holidays.

Getting there and practical information

Gardenos is best reached by car, scooter or taxi because there is no direct public bus to the beach. A free parking area is available near the shoreline, while the nearest useful bus connections are in the Vitalades area.
