My sister-in-law, also a frequent cruiser, ranked this as one of her all-time top excursions. If you are a beach fan, you’ll enjoy the fine sand, thick chair pad, wait staff, affordable food, and lovely water.

Dear guest,
Thank you for this lovely review!
Thank you for choosing and traveling with us!

We opted to have a beach day on our cruise’s stop in Corfu. Our driver was easily identifiable waiting for us with a sign in the cruise terminal. We immediately were taken to a private van and driven directly to the beach club. The beach club is beautiful and there were several restaurants nearby to choose from. There are shower and changing room facilities as well. At the end of the day, our driver was waiting for us on time, and dropped us off in the old town so we could explore. Overall, we loved the experience and would highly recommend it.

We are glad you have enjoyed the excursion.

There was a lot of confusion finding the tour from the cruise port. Once we figured out what car was taking us to the beach, it was an easy ride along some narrow roads. We were dropped off at the beach which was very crowded. It took awhile to get our chairs/ umbrella. There appeared to be no one in charge. When we were leaving I asked about the water that was included and no one knew what I was talking about. It was very disorganized.
Debra_G, Jun 2024
The beach club and daybeds were very comfortable. We appreciated having showers available before our trip back to the ship. Drinks and food options were plentiful.
Mike_L, Jun 2024
Everything was exactly as advertised. Transport was on time, both ways. The beach is absolutely stunning. Soft sand, gentle waves, incredible views.

Wonderful trip and beach resort. Soft, warm sand. Beach chairs and umbrellas. Courteous and prompt driver

This was going to be a short excursion as our cruise ship was only in port for a short day and since we had spent so much time sightseeing, we felt (6 of us) that this would be a nice break. It was, and even more. We were met at the cruise port by the rep and a private van with a wonderful driver (Dora) took us to Glyfada Beach. We were given beach beds with umbrellas at a private beach club and were provided with ice and water. Waiter service was available for drinks and food which we took advantage of.
The beach was beautiful with dark hot sand, but it was the water of the sea that made this so special. Crystal clear water. It was amazing. We swam, ate and drank and then promptly as promised, our driver Dora returned to take us back to our ship.
We would recommend this to anyone looking for a fantastic beach break.

We enjoyed our beach trip which was about a half hour drive away. The beach was lovely and the beach club provided ice, water, soft drink, umbrella and comfortable lounges. We had about 3 hours there. On the beach we met up with the ship's tour group who paid about double the price for an hour less time at the same club! We found a massage place on the beach which gave a great couples massage for 85 euros for both of us nd was 50 minutes long. We were shown the way down to the beach by the bus driver and were given no further details. We were left at the top of a long hill which is very difficult to maneuver if you have breathing or knee issues. We called the company and they did come down the hill to pick us up for our return but I would talk to them beforehand if you have walking problems. There were many wasp like insects around so if you have sting allergies, be aware.All in all we enjoyed the day despite the inconveniences.

Arrived in Corfu on NCL Star last week of July 2019. Booked trip in advance. Excursion representative was waiting when we got off the boat. Went to bus and waited to leave. Although we were supposed to leave at 10:30, some people were late getting of the boat (their own fault) so we waited close to 15 min. Bus a little warm but it was a very hot day. We arrived about 20 min late to Glyfada but it was worth waiting for. Very nice beach. Clean, warm water, some waves to make it interesting. Chairs very comfortable. The bus was delayed a half hour picking us up but that was fine with us as the beach was great and we wanted to stay. Made it back on time. Definitely worth doing. I note that NCL went to a different beach but I can't imagine it was better than Glyfada.
Patricia_R, Jul 2019
This was a very good investment. The beach was wonderful and the service was exceptional. Be prepared to walk up and down hills.
Angela_M, Jul 2019
This was a great day. The beach club was very clean and well maintained. They had the chairs, towels and umbrella as promised. That also had lock boxes on the umbrella to use to secure your valuables so you could enjoy the ocean. That was a very pleasant surprise. The sand was soft and the water cool. The staff was very attentive. I would highly recommend this excursion.
Kevin_D, Jul 2019
The tour was a little disorganized because they combined groups from 2 different ships. The driver taking us to the beach got lost twice so it took extra long to get there. He dropped us off and we were left to find our own way to the place we were supposed to be. Once we figured that out, it was a very good day in the sun. We had water, sun beds and an umbrella included plus 1 soft drink. The staff at the Pazuzu was excellent, very attentive and we felt like our valuables were safe. The tour company sent a small bus for us as we had more time than the group from the other ship, so in the end they did make it right. It would be helpful to have someone there to show us where to go, but otherwise a really good getaway.
Greg M, Aug 2018
This was a great tour. Made getting to and from the beach very easy. the only thing I would suggest is that you stay on top of the tour company representative at the port. There is a large window in which they wait for all the members of the tour to gather. We were the first off the ship but had to wait 40 minutes for the others to come and meet us. Therefore we lost over 1/2 of an already short visit to the island.

Glyfada Beach is beautiful . . . clear, blue water soft sand excellent amenities. Our greeter at the port was excellent. Transportation to and from the beach was perfect and effortless. Our reception at the beach was less impressive. We were greeted by name at the beach and escorted to two beach chairs in the second row. When we pointed out that there were 3 of us, and that we had paid for 3 lounges, the gentleman offered us a sandy beanbag laying nearby. When we declined, he gave us 3 lounges, but failed to bring us water, which he had brought to everyone else. Later, he dropped some tickets on our table, without explanation. We ended up buying a delicious lunch at the restaurant, but we felt rushed to give up our seats on the beach.
Billy A, Jul 2018
We loved this beach and were given great service! We did have to wait longer that anticipated at the port due to the van filling up and having to send a 2nd one out to get us. The drive also spoke very little English and just dropped us off and gave us a time to be picked up. We had to guess at the beach rental we were to go to, but we made it and had a lovely day.
Alfonso F, Jul 2018
The excursion included a transfer from the Port, a few hours at a beach with a ticket for one non-alcoholic beverage, chaise lounges, and a towel. The service was exactly as advertised. We were met at the Port by a guide who directed us to a large van. The pick-up driver at the beach (for the ride back) was right on time. The time at the beach was shorter than we would have preferred, but this was constrained by the ship's schedule, not by the tour operator. The beach is sandy, not rocky, and was prettier than any other Greek Beach that we saw on the cruise.
Catherine_H, Jul 2018
The representative was immediately available when our boat docked. We did have to wait about 45 minutes until we left for beach. They compensated by giving us an extra half hour at the beach. The beach itself was stunning we had very comfortable lounges and umbrellas as well as water and a nonalcoholic drink coupon for everyone. The return trip was a little confusing when the bus was not easy to find. It is a very crowded parking lot and we had to hike up a hill to a bus stop which was difficult for some of the older people in our group. We had an emergency phone number and a very nice Greek man called to tell the bus we are here. Overall a nice day.

Everything about this excursion was as expected. The beach is beautiful and the resort where they take you is very nice. All arrangements worked out perfectly.
Helen R, Oct 2017
Unfortunately on arrival at our meeting point we were told that the excursion had been cancelled as the beach had been closed by the owners, a message was left on our phone however phone had not been turned on, more likely the excursion had been under booked as we were the only couple on the tour. However, as a replacement we were offered a guided tour of the islands' highlights in a luxury mini-bus, including a light lunch. This provided a more than adequate replacement, with an excellent guide and a comprehensive island tour.

This was our first Viator excursion, and we were not impressed. We were told to make our way to our meeting point as soon as possible. We arrived at 10:10 am at the cruise terminal. We met an agent who gave us a packet of information only to tell us that the agent responsible for our excursion was not there yet. But the agents kept on telling us that our van/guide was coming... soon. Soon all the agents left on their vans, and we were left without any information on where/when our agent was going to show up. I tried to e-mail the company and called them to tell them we were waiting. Finally, she showed up and we departed at 11:15 am for our half-day at the beach, which translated more like 2h at the beach. She handed the packages to everyone and left. When we arrived at the beach, the resort told us that they were overbooked and we had to give up 2 chairs we were a group of 4. The manager told us that they had notified travelco of this change. All and all, the resort was beautiful and the beach fantastic, but at that point, we were very disappointed with the value of this excursion.

Our bus left 45 minutes after the scheduled time, and so we only had 1-1.5 hours at the beach. There was a lot of confusion finding the guide, and after we were put on the bus, we were left to find the beach club on our own. We liked Pazuzu beach club and the reserved chairs. Taxi on your own!
caroline m, Aug 2017
here we had a problem , when we reached the beach the place we were suppose to go was closed , we lost alot of time and ended up not having our full time ther , serious organizational problem ..sad
Matthew K, Aug 2017
We were happily surprised to arrive and find our reserved beach lounges in the premium first-row, closest to the water. The water conditions were better than expected, too - perfect temperature and crystal clear, smooth, sandy bottom, plenty of open space - not too crowded.
Kelsey C, Aug 2017
The guide was very accommodating. There was ana air conditioned van with free wifi that picked us up. We did not receive the included towel or cocktail. There was an issue with the location (they hadn't paid their taxes), but luckily the guide was able to make an arrangement for us.
Barbara R, Aug 2017
This was not a very good experience. Our driver never showed up to pick up us up after our time spent at the beach. We needed to find our way back to the port to catch our cruise boat in a foreign country. Luckily, our trip turned out okay, but could have been a devastating experience.
Paola M, Sep 2016
Eventhough, I forgot to email them with my arrival time, the local travel company went above and beyond to help us get to the beach with a private car ride to the beach and back. Thank you very much!
Danny_S, Sep 2016
Fantastic beach and georgous resort. Service was top notch definately worth the time and money.
William E, Aug 2016
The beach, the service, it was all spectacular. It was very nice to driven back and forth, but the driver picking us up at the port terminal was almost late and we were sure that we had been stood up.
Laura_M, Aug 2016
The driver dropped us off a bit away with no direction so it was a little confusing where to go but once we found the right place...wow. Great little day club. Beach is super rocky so bring shoes if you want to go in the water. Service was fantastic. Loved the little safe by the chair to securely leave valuables.
Kimberly_G, Aug 2016
The actual beach and resort Puzuzu was great. The tour operator however was HORRIBLE!!! There was no one with a sign with my name as instructed. Once I finally found the tour guide all she did was put us on a bus with a non-english speaking driver and no instructions. We were dropped off at the top of a hill and told to walk down to the beach. It took 45 minutes to figure out which resort we were supposed to be at which had our paid chairs, etc. and had to move 3 times before finally locating the proper place.
