Barbati
Corfu
Barbati
is found as you head north from Corfu town, the scenery here is dramatically
different from the south of the island. Barbati is close to the popular
Corfu resort of Ipsos, the road from the resort winds its way upwards
on the lower slopes of Mount Pandokrator and drops down through the
olive groves to Barbati. The resort is spread out along the coastal
road, on one side are the spectacular mountain slopes and on the other
olive groves and the long white shingle beach, lapped by turquoise waters.
The
beach is cooled each day by a welcome mountain breeze. The sheltered
warm waters of Barbati bay are wonderful for swimmers of all ages, a
variety of water sports are available including windsurfing, waterskiing,
pedaloes, dinghy sailing and for the more adventurous parascending.
The resort has some small supermarkets and shops and several quiet tavernas
and restaurants which offer good food and Greek dancing in the evenings.
Barbati is quiet in nature for those wanting a beach holiday and relaxing
nights.
