The minibus eases down the west-coast ribbon of road and the Ionian opens like a blue promise. In less than an hour from Corfu Town or a quick hop from nearby resort villages, travelers find Glyfada’s broad bay: a sweep of pale sand and low cliffs where the sea seems to test how bright it can be. Waves nudge the shore with steady confidence; the current and wind often play at different speeds, daring swimmers and paddleboarders alike.
