Marathias Beach
Endless sand — lively at one end, empty at the other
Marathias is one of south Corfu's longest beaches, a broad sweep of golden sand backed by low dunes and green hills. It has a split personality, and that's its charm: near the entrances you'll find beach bars, sunbeds and tavernas; walk five minutes along the shore and it's just you, the dunes, and the sound of the waves. The water deepens gradually and stays beautifully clear, and there is room to breathe even in peak season. Perfect for a full beach day where everyone gets the version they want.
Plan your visit
Marathias is 18 minutes from Kavos by paved road through Lefkimmi and Marathias village. There are parking areas by the beach bars at both entrances; a transfer leaves you at the entrance of your choice and picks you up wherever you finish your walk.
One of the longest beaches in the south: a wide band of golden sand backed by low dunes. Near the entrances there are beach bars with sunbeds, music and food; five minutes along the shore it turns quiet, with room to spread out even in August. Clear water with a gentle slope.
All day. Mornings are calm and quiet; afternoons bring a light breeze and a livelier beach bar; sunset over the sea is worth staying for.
- Choose your entrance: the northern end is livelier, the southern end quieter.
- Sunbed prices are per set; the free sand is a short walk away.
