Ýpsos Beaches

Welcome to Ýpsos, a lively resort on the northeast coast of Corfu known for its vibrant atmosphere and beautiful setting at the foot of Mount Pantokrator. The destination is famous for its long pebble beach and a dual personality that offers relaxed days by the sea which transform into energetic nights. While its bustling nightlife attracts a younger crowd, the calm, clear, and shallow waters also make it a suitable spot for families and swimmers.

The main draw is, of course, Ipsos Beach, a lengthy stretch of pebbles lined with bars and restaurants right in the heart of the action. For an iconic day trip, many visitors head to the stunning coves of Paleokastritsa, widely considered one of Corfu's most beautiful coastal areas. A short trip north leads to Barbati Beach, which provides a more upscale experience with stylish beach clubs. For an unforgettable scenic adventure, the hike down to the highly photogenic double bay of Porto Timoni Beach is a social media favorite.

While Ýpsos offers plenty of energy, quieter spots are easily accessible, including the more relaxed neighboring resort of Dassia just to the south. The entire coastline boasts exceptionally clear, Blue Flag-awarded waters perfect for swimming and a host of watersports. To discover all the unique shores the area has to offer, from bustling hubs to hidden gems, be sure to explore our complete list of the best beaches.
