Glyfada is in the middle of Corfu on the west coast and lies about 16km from the capital Kerkyra. It generally takes about half an hour in the car to make the trip across the island to the main town and transfers to and from the airport will be about the same.
Glyfada is a very small and relatively quiet resort, there are no late night bars or clubs or any other lively evening entertainment.
If you want a night out then it’s simple enough to head over to Kerkyra where you’ll find a lot more to keep all ages entertained.
Glyfada isn't just about the great beach, there's also Mirtiotissa beach, which is a small beach often frequented by nudists that’s just a couple of minutes up the road.
As well as these, there are also some fantastic walking trails in the woods around the village. If you have a car then you can travel to nearby Pelekas which is just 10 minutes drive away. It's a traditional Greek village that’s become a bit of a hub for backpackers.
