About Marathias beach

Marathias beach is a sandy beach on Corfu, facing south-west. Land shelters it from winds from the north, the north-east, and the east, so those winds leave the water flat here. Winds from the south, the south-west, and the west arrive over open sea and raise waves when they are strong. A road leads to the beach and there is parking nearby. Within 300 m there are 3 tavernas and restaurants, 2 bars and cafés, and toilets or showers. The sea is warmest in August, at about 26 °C. It is above 22 °C from June to October.

Written from map data (OpenStreetMap contributors), our own measurement of the open sea around the beach and NOAA sea temperatures (1991-2020 averages).

When is it busy?
