Paramonas is a wide beach on Corfu's west coast, located next to the same-named little hamlet, which has a modest hotel and a beachfront bar. It's mostly gritty sand with a few stones thrown in for good measure. The azure waters are shallow for a few meters before abruptly deepening. Sunbeds, umbrellas, showers, changing rooms, and a cabin are available on the beach for you to enjoy your bath and sunbathe in luxury. You may also enjoy light water activities like canoeing and pedal boating on Paramonas Beach, or charter one of the three boats available with a skipper and explore the surrounding region, which includes a cave and a monastery.
The sea on Paramonas Beach is very dependent on weather conditions, due to its extreme western location, which not only provides one of the most spectacular sunsets but also brings waves. Paramonas Beach is 8 kilometers from Korissia Lake, Corfu's most significant wetland, and is less popular than Prasoudi, Halikounas, and Issos. So, in a lush setting, between mountain and sea, it's excellent for seclusion, quiet, and total relaxation!
The island of Corfu is one of the Ionian group islands. To the locals, Corfu is known under the name Kerkyra. It is a place with a long history and rich tradition. Its polymorphism is due to the many conquerors that arrived on the island through the centuries, including British and Italians, who left an evident mark on the local culture and architecture. Some parallel Corfu to Venice and Florence.
The Ionian Islands are located on the western side of Greece and are historically and culturally strongly connected to Italy with many evident elements of this. The architecture of the capital towns, including Corfu Town, Zakynthos Town and Argostoli, resembles a lot to the Venetian style as these islands were occupied by the Venetians in the medieval times. Another striking characteristic of Ionian Greece is the lush green nature and the aquamarine beaches with white soft sand. Corfu, Zakynthos, Kefalonia and Lefkada are the most popular holiday islands. The Ionian islands also embrace an amazing music and dance tradition.
