One of the most picturesque beaches in Corfu, Bataria Beach Kassiopi – Island Corfu, Greece is filled with stunning white pebbles and crystal clear turquoise water, creating a beautiful combination of colors for your eyes! Due to its deep seabed, a large number of visitors dive in the waters of Bataria, although it is an ideal destination for relaxed swimming, sunbathing and enjoying the view of the mountains of Albania!
When I first came to Bataria Beach in Kassiopa, I was blown away by the contrast between the white pebbles and the incredibly blue water. I was especially fascinated by the view of the Albanian mountains that can be seen from the beach - the feeling of looking at another country from the beach was unique!
