Glyfada Beach is situated on the west coast. The steep descent to the beach offers fine views of the bay backed by towering slopes. Glyfada has developed as a tourist resort by virtue of its huge sandy beach which is the great attraction, although the sea can be a bit rough when the west wind blows. There are canoes and pedaloes for hire. Less than three miles away is the mountain village of Pelekas, famous for its sunsets. There are apartments, villas and good beach hotels. There are a few tavernas and restaurants at the hotels.

Corfu (Greek: Κέρκυρα, Kérkyra, ; Ancient Greek: Κέρκυρα or Κόρκυρα; Latin: Corcyra; Italian: Corfù) is a Greek island in the Ionian Sea. It is the second largest of the Ionian Islands. Its northern part lies off the coast of Sarandë, Albania, from which it is separated by straits varying in breadth from 3 to 23 km (2 to 15 mi), including one near ancient Butrint, while its southern part lies off the coast of Thesprotia, Greece. The island is part of the Corfu Prefecture and includes twelve of the sixteen municipalities or communes in the prefecture and communities of Ereikoussa, Mathraki, Othonoi, and Municipality of Paxoi, which are all separate islands.
