How to get there
Take the main coastal road from Corfu town, port, airport, following the signs to Kassiopi. Pass through kontokali, gouvia, dassia, Ipsos. The road then starts to climb, as you start to come back down the hill the other side there are two very bad bends! Be careful as they double back on themselves!! Just after these bends you are in Barbati you will see the sign. Follow the signs on your right to piedra del mar this will take you to the beach. before somewhere in the middle there is your private parking, no 506.
Getting around
Ipsos is a 20 min walk - but a regular boat service operates for a small charge. Nissaki in the other direction is also about 20 mins - via the main road - as it does not have a footpath. There are the remains of an ancient church St Nikolas right on the beach at Barbati, although it is closed it is worth a look as it is very pretty and being right on the beach it is unusual. There are many traditional older villages in the hills behind the resort which are worth visiting.
