in the west of the island Corfu just below Ermones and Mirtiotissa. Behind the beach are the steep green hills. Glyfada beach too is only reachable over a steep curvy road. At the beach there is a large hotel, which is named
the Grand Hotel Glyfada but a reccommended accommodation is the Glyfada Meginos beach resort.
During the daytime it can get quite busy with day-visitors, but in the evenings when these have gone it is more quiet.
