Alternatively you can head to the northeastern coast of Corfu. This area is more picturesque, boasting a lush scenery, with cypress trees and olive groves carpeting the gentle hills, and beautiful consecutive bays that you can explore by boat.
Agni
Agni is a small charming bay you can easily reach by boat. The beach here is small and covered in shiny pebbles, shelving deep into crystalline waters. There are three waterfront tavernas in Agni all of which are accessible by the sea, as there are jetties where you can moor your boat while you enjoy the food.
Agios Stefanos

Cape Drastis
A complex of rocks, located in the north western side of Corfu, totally worth visiting! Magnificent rock formations, stunning blue water and breathtaking views, make this place a unique sightseeing.
For centuries, the wind and waves helped Cape Drastis to form amazingly sculptures inside the sea, where the access is done only by boat. The area is still protected from human intervention and remains pure.
In such an unspoiled and wild cape natural scenery, you will find the ideal place for relaxing, swimming, snorkeling and cliff jumping. The sunset from Cape Drastis is breathtaking and shouldn’t be missed.
Porto Timoni
A must-see scenery if you’re in Corfu!
It is located on the northwestern part of the island, near a small traditional village called Afionas. Porti Timoni beach, consists of two different but equally beautiful beaches separated by a strip of land.
Although is a place not easy to reach, the best way to get there is obviously by boat, but visitors can also go by car and then walk the way down while enjoying breathtaking views and be part in a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
