Barbati: A colorful combination of mountain and sea. Spectacular beach, azure sea with a dramatic backdrop of mount Pantokrator. Always popular for families with young children.
Its visitors return regularly to enjoy the wonderful beach, the water sports and the emerald waters.
A mile long shingle beach is the outstanding asset that Barbati has to offer. A few Tavernas on the beach, a supermarket and the occasional gift shop. The main village of Barbati is located up on the main road - about a ten min walk.
The resort of barbati runs either side of the main coastal road from Corfu town. The shops and Tavernas are positioned on the road side and smaller roads run steeply off to your right down to the beach. The beach is long and the views are stunning from here.
To the right you look across to Corfu town. Spot the old town and the forts. You can see the cruise ships docked in the port, just to the right of the main town. On the left the view is of the Albanian coast line where it meets with the Greek mainland. On a clear day it is stunning.
Barbati is the ideal family resort, for those looking for some life but also some peace and quiet. The beach front tends to be quieter and more relaxing in the evenings, whereas the bars up on the main road are busier and more lively.
There are the remains of an ancient church St Nikolas right on the beach at Barbati, although it is closed it is worth a look as it is very pretty and being right on the beach it is unusual. There are many traditional older villages in the hills behind the resort which are worth visiting.
