Barbati Beach, a small cute seaside resort in Sinies area
Barbati Beach, nestled within the enchanting Sinies area, is a coastal gem located just 18 kilometers north of the vibrant Corfu Town.
This picturesque beach, with its captivating transformation over recent years, has evolved from a beloved stony retreat, frequented by locals for idyllic picnics amid ancient olive groves, into a bustling and vibrant resort that has captured the hearts of discerning holidaymakers.
The beach’s unique charm is characterized by its predominantly pebbled shoreline, adorned with translucent waters that seem to glisten with an inviting coolness.
