Rovinia is a small cove in the north-west, about 75 metres of white pebbles, with beautiful, very deep water. In the official bathing-water tests of 2025 its water was rated excellent. It is one of the guide's five-star beaches, and in summer it is very busy.
Getting there
From Corfu Town it is about 23 km, around half an hour by car. The last stretch is a very steep dirt road and a bit tricky, so take it slowly. There is a car park at the end of the road, and because the road puts people off, you usually find a space. You can also arrive by boat, or on foot: a short waymarked path from Liapades, route 24, passes right by the beach, and the Corfu Trail about 350 metres away.
The beach
White pebbles and very deep, clear water: a beach for swimmers. There is little else, so bring water and snacks. For the whole picture, a viewpoint sits just above the cove.
Along the same coast
- Ha Cave, a 3-minute walk: a quiet cave on the west coast.
- Klimatia, 12 minutes on foot: a tiny five-star cove of large pebbles with very deep water. Bring water and snacks.
- Limni, 13 minutes on foot: a small beach of large pebbles with very deep water, very popular.
- Chomi, about 2 km along the coast as the crow flies, only by boat: a very large five-star sandy beach under orange cliffs.
- Agios Spiridon (Paleokastritsa), 12 minutes by car: a pebble cove with sunbeds, cafés and boats for hire.
Our take: beautiful water and white pebbles, well worth the bumpy road. In summer, come early to find your spot.
