Corfu, Greece
Issos Beach

A wide sandy strip sandwiched between a verdant forest line and turquoise waters.

In an artful combination of the desert, the tropics, and the coast, Issos Beach is a distinctive beach that offers a varied and stunning scenery you won’t find anywhere else. The endless stretch of unvegetated sand projects into the sea such that clear blue waters encircle the beach like a private island. Combined with the gently undulating sand dunes, Issos Beach looks as if the desert terrain had been transplanted to the coast. These vast sand dunes that give way to a smattering of vegetation which coalesce into a forested lake make for a fun exploratory afternoon under the sun as you climb and hike.


For thrill-seekers, the occasional strong winds at Issos Beach make it an ideal spot for windsurfing and kite surfing. Meanwhile, the vastness of the beach allows you to find your own sweet spot away from others and settle in for a relaxing sunbath. The northern side of the beach is largely reserved for nude sunbathers where they can enjoy a space away from peering eyes. From sand dunes to seawater, Issos Beach’s unforgettable stand-out landscape is sure to lure you back again.
