Magic Greece. Paradise Beach, Korfu.
Paradise Beach is accessible only by the sea. It is one of the most beautiful beach of Corfu and is located on the northwest coast of the island. Large steep vertical white rocks rise above a narrow, pebbly beach with crystal blue waters. At the northern end there is a sea cave, one of the countless along the coastline.
It is completely virgin, it has no tourist infrastructure. You are alone, you and nature, appreciate the natural environment to the fullest.
