One of the best , most famous and popular beaches of Corfu. It is 16 miles to the West of Corfu Town. It is a wonderful sandy beach surrounded by hills covered with olive and pine trees and crystal water. You can swim here all day, but if you stay till the late afternoon, you will be able to enjoy the beautiful sunset .
A monument of Paneuropean importance, since it is here that the Latin Nobles who were killed at the naval battle of Nafpaktos ( 1571 ), were buried; this naval battle was the end of the marine threat of the Turks. A few years later the Turks will no longer constitute a threat for the land, either, and the effort of the Turks to expand to the West will come to a final end .
