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?
Yachting elegance In the bay you will see:
Snow-white mega-yachts with polished decks
Stylish boats owned by local hotels
Sometimes - luxurious sailing ships , reminiscent of the times of the Count of Mon Cristo
Magic sky
In the morning - mother-of-pearl shimmers over calm water
During the day , the sky is deep cobalt, contrasting with the whiteness of the yachts.
At sunset , golden reflections on the water and silhouettes of yachts against a purple sky
Peaceful atmosphere There is no:
Noisy fishing boats (like in other bays)
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?
Morning coffee
In a cafe with a terrace over the water
Watching the yachts prepare to set sail
Daytime
Photographing the contrast of white yachts and blue sky
Enjoy the silence by the water
Evening
Dinner at the Nautilus restaurant with panoramic windows
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.
