Mirtiotissa Beach location<\/h2>\n

Mirtiotissa is located between the villages of Pelekas and Vatos, just next to cosmopolitan Glyfada beach on the western coast of the island, it looks isolated and safe place, one of the reasons that since the decade the 60s it has become the only beach in the island of Corfu<\/a> where nudism was officially tolerated.<\/p>\n

It was<\/span> one of the most beautiful beaches in Europe, at least, Gerald Durrell<\/strong> had described it as “The most beautiful beach on Earth<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n

Reached by a steep path or by the sea, is a rather small sandy beach difficult to spot from the sea, separated from Glyfada beach by a thin but high rock.<\/p>\n

It is one of the cleanest beaches in Corfu<\/a>. No hotels, apartments, or restaurants on the beach so it remains natural and unspoiled by progress.<\/p>\n

Why is the sand shrinking? Is it the end of Mirtiotissa as the famous nudist beach of Corfu?<\/h2>\n

Now you may wonder about this red (it was<\/span>), well it is obvious from the pictures that this lovely beach is doomed by nature to disappear.<\/p>\n

We have here an example of how nature slowly but continuously changes the face of the earth, the beach had shrunk to a degree that it cannot hold but a dozen people, comparing it with the decade of the 80s most of the sand had been washed away.<\/p>\n
