Garitsa, Corfu: An elegant cove overlooking the Old Fortress

Updated: Apr 1






My favorite place to admire the sea and luxury yachts

"My daily source of inspiration"

Garitsa Bay is a sophisticated corner just 10 minutes walk from the center of Corfu Town. I came here every day to enjoy: → Perfectly smooth water , reflecting like a mirror → Elegant yachts gliding through the bay → Magnificent view of the Old Venetian Fortress

Why is this place special?

  1. Yachting elegance In the bay you will see:

  2. Snow-white mega-yachts with polished decks

  3. Stylish boats owned by local hotels

  4. Sometimes - luxurious sailing ships , reminiscent of the times of the Count of Mon Cristo

  5. Magic sky

  6. In the morning - mother-of-pearl shimmers over calm water

  7. During the day , the sky is deep cobalt, contrasting with the whiteness of the yachts.

  8. At sunset , golden reflections on the water and silhouettes of yachts against a purple sky

  9. Peaceful atmosphere There is no:

  10. Noisy fishing boats (like in other bays)

  11. The bustle of tourism

But there is:

  • Well-kept embankment for walking

  • Several fine dining restaurants overlooking the bay

  • Calm water, ideal for evening photo shoots

How to find Garitsa Bay?

📍 On foot : From Liston, walk along the embankment towards the Old Fortress (10 minutes).

What to do in the bay?

  1. Morning coffee

  2. In a cafe with a terrace over the water

  3. Watching the yachts prepare to set sail

  4. Daytime

  5. Photographing the contrast of white yachts and blue sky

  6. Enjoy the silence by the water

  7. Evening

  8. Dinner at the Nautilus restaurant with panoramic windows

  9. Watch the fortress light up at dusk

P.S. Garitsa is a bay for those who appreciate elegant simplicity. When you are here, find "my" favorite lamppost by the water - this place offers the best view of the yachts and the fortress. Just stand and watch the light play on the waves... This is the magic of Corfu.
