Barbati Holidays

The small, relaxed resort of Barbati lies on Corfu's northeast coast nestled at the foot of Mount Pandokrator. Holidays in Barbati enjoy a secluded setting due to its dramatic rocky backdrop. Barbati has managed to fend off large-scale development and accommodation here is made up of low-rise apartments and private villas. Barbati is located just 12 miles, (20 kilometres) from Corfu Town and Airport.

Barbati's mile-long white shingle beach is popular with families due to its sheltered calm waters. The beach is also dotted with sun loungers and umbrellas. Water sports are available for the more active tourists, including waterskiing, banana boats, and pedallos. Keen-walkers can explore hiking trails up the side of Mount Pandokrator. Those who brave the climb will enjoy breathtaking views and colourful birds.

Other points of interest include the remains of the ancient church of St Nikolas right on the beach and numerous traditional villages set in the hills behind Barbati. The resort offers a handful of shops selling souvenirs and foodstuffs for the self-catering holidaymaker. Barbati also features a small selection of lively bars and tavernas, which line the main road. Evenings are spent tucking in to traditional Greek cuisine, taking in the spectacular views, and enjoying Greek shows and dances.
