Sotiriotissa Beach is situated in Alykes Bay, in the village of Kontokali, a suburb to the northwest of Corfu Town.
How To Get To Sotiriotissa Beach
Sotiriotissa Beach is located about 6 kilometers away from the center of Corfu Town and can easily be reached by car, taxi, or public transport.
If you drive there, for example by renting a car for your holiday, you can simply follow Road no. 24 in the direction of Paleokastritsa, which passes by the beach. There is very limited parking available at the beach, so you might have to drive a bit further to find a parking spot. There is also a paid parking lot at the nearby Gouvia Marina and ample free street parking in the village of Kontokali.
To get to Sotiriotissa Beach by public transport, you can take Corfu Bus line 7 which stops around the corner. To get back into Corfu Town, you can take either line 4 or 7 from the bus stop across the road. Several of the long-distance Green Buses also pass by in both directions.
Beach Description
Sotiriotissa Beach faces to the east and has a length of 200 meters and an average width of 5 meters. The beach mainly consists of sand and pebbles and the seabed has a gentle slope so for the first few meters the water has a relatively normal depth.
Although the southern end of the beach is directly next to a busy road, the further north you go, the quieter the beach is. The area is also secluded by vegetation behind the beach, which makes it a great spot for relaxation.
From the beach you can see the islet Lazaretto and on the horizon you can see Corfu Town with the Old Fortress.
Facilities At Sotiriotissa Beach
Sotiriotissa Beach is unorganized and has no facilities or any commercial activities. This means there are no sunbeds or umbrellas for rent and you’d have to bring your own supplies. However, there are several restaurants in the nearby area.
