Prasoudi Beach is a beautiful sand beach near the historic village of Agios Mattheos, on the west coast of southern Corfu. The beach has a cosy organized part in a small bay but continues behind some rocks as a wild undeveloped beach.
How To Get To Prasoudi Beach
Prasoudi Beach is situated on the opposite side of the mountain from Agios Mattheos and can best be reached with a private vehicle, like a rental car, scooter, or boat.
By car, Prasoudi Beach is a 5.5-kilometer drive from Agios Mattheos and 27 kilometers from Corfu Town. Free parking is available near the beach.
If you enjoy hiking, you can also make a beautiful scenic hike from Agios Mattheos to the beach. On the way, you can also visit the Pantokrator Monastery from where you have the most stunning views over the island.
Unfortunately, there is no public transport to Prasoudi Beach.
Beach Description
Prasoudi Beach consists of two parts which are separated by some rocks. The most popular part is the sandy beach situated in a small secluded bay. This part has a length of 100 meters and an average width of around 10 meters. It’s orientation is towards the southwestern direction.
Behind the rocks on northern side, the beach continues as a longer narrow strip along a lenghty bay. It’s orientation varies between the western and southwestern directions. This largely-unknown part has a length of approximately 400 meters and an average width of 5 meters. This part of the beach is also sandy, but has more stones and larger rocks.
The seabed at Prasoudi Beach has a gentle slope and for the first few meters, the bathing water has a normal depth. The water is perfect for swimming as it is relatively calm and very clear.
The beach is situated among a beautiful natural scenery with turquoise waters, lots of green vegetation, and a mountainous landscape. Apart from a few buildings, the coastline is mostly undeveloped and therefore a great place to relax in nature.
To the south, there is another unspoiled beach called Kanouli.
Facilities At Prasoudi Beach
