Beaches
Corfu’s southern coast is the most unspoiled. Windswept Halikounas beach is popular with kite-surfers and windsurfers while Gardeno Beach at Vitalades is a quiet holiday-makers heaven. Wild Arkoudila sandy beach,on the southernmost point of the island can be reached by car on a dirt road.(Look out for the 17th-century monastery hidden in the pine forests overlooking the beach). Notos and Kaliviotis beaches are typical of the mild lanscape of the eastern shore of the island.
