Myrtiotissa is a sandy paradise surrounded by a majestic landscape, consisting of lush green cliffs and crystalline waters. The beach was characterized by the English writer Lawrence Durrell as the loveliest beach in the world, due to its dramatic and stunning surroundings that attract thousands of visitors.
Myrtiotissa is one of the most popular beaches in Corfu, owning its name to the beautiful Monastery of Myrtiotissa, which stands on the slopes of the lush green mountain- some metres above the sea. This idyllic beach retains its unspoiled character, thus there are no tourist facilities available.
The beach is located 12 km east from Gouvia and is highly recommended for those who enjoy nudism in a natural and wonderful landscape.
