Sand dunes and coastline in South West Corfu

Marathias

A Long Sandy Beach and Relaxed South-West Atmosphere

ABOUT

Marathias is part of South West Corfu. A long sandy beach destination in southern Corfu, offering a relaxed atmosphere, food and drink and spacious coastal scenery.

Marathias is a long sandy beach area in southern Corfu with restaurants and accommodation spread along the coast and nearby roads. It is less urbanised than the larger resort centres.

The area suits beach-focused holidays and visitors who prefer a slower pace, particularly those exploring the wider south-west by car. It is particularly well suited to visitors interested in beaches, relaxing holidays, couples, families and sunsets.

Getting there and practical information

Green Bus services connect the wider Marathias area with Corfu Town, but a car gives much more flexibility for the long south-west coastline. Free street parking is available around the village and beach approaches, with demand increasing in peak summer.
