20 kilometers north from Corfu Town there is the Barbati Beach, a stretch yielding a spectacular scenery since it brings into a fortunate alliance the landscape marked by the towering Mount Pantokrator and the smooth seascape. Barbati is one of the blue flagged venues in Corfu, but besides this label which, in fact, covers a valuable quality of the beach, the venue takes pride in being 1000 meters long and one of the most popular in Corfu. No wonder, since it is fitted with plenty of water sports and boat hire facilities. In addition, its surroundings are dotted with sleeping and eating venues, which guarantees an almost constant concourse on the beach.
Sissy’s Achillion Palace is one of the main tourist attractions on Corfu Island. Built by an Italian architect upon the command of Empress Sissy in 1890.
From Corfu to Ithaca you can travel by ferry. Ithaca is the homeland of Odysseus, Greek mythical hero. The hotels on Ithaca island are in Vathi village.
Nearby Corfu Town another excellent beach is located, that is, the Moraitika Beach, on the eastern side of the island.
