Gardeno beach

This beach is located 40 km southwest of the island's center and 5 km from Lefkimmi village. The public transport system is underdeveloped, so the best way to get here is by car. Public transport services are infrequent, and there is a long walk from the stop.

Lush greenery surrounds this extensive sandy beach. The descent to the beach is gentle, and the waters are shallow, making it a favorite spot for families with children and those seeking solitude and tranquility.

Despite its distance from civilization and relative "wildness," amenities such as umbrellas and deck chairs are available. Gardeno Beach also offers delightful fresh fish meals accompanied by vegetables in the local traditional Greek taverns. For those wishing to relax and admire the stunning views while sipping a glass of wine, a visit to the local bar is highly recommended.

When is the best time to visit?

The best time to visit Corfu for a beach vacation is typically between late May and early October. This period offers the ideal balance of warm weather, sunny days, and comfortable sea temperatures for swimming and water activities.

• Late May to June: This is a great time to enjoy the beaches with fewer crowds and pleasant weather. The sea might still be a bit cool, but the island is lush and beautiful after the winter rains.
• July to August: These are the hottest months, perfect for sunbathing and enjoying the warmest sea temperatures. However, this is also the peak tourist season, so expect more crowded beaches and higher prices.
• September: The weather remains warm, but the crowds start to thin out, making it a good time for those seeking a more peaceful beach experience.
• Early October: This can still be a good time for a beach vacation, especially in the first half of the month, as the weather is generally still warm, but the chance of rain increases as the month progresses.

Ultimately, the best time for a beach vacation in Corfu depends on your preferences for weather, water temperature, and crowd levels.
