Relaxing beach day - Pickup point at the beginning and end of the transfer was easy to get to. Glyfada is a beautiful beach, well organized, with soft sand, surrounded by beautiful mountains and crystal clear water. We had a wonderful time on the beach, wished we had even more time! The driver was late in picking us up in the morning which was a frustrating expérience as it was difficult to get a hold of the provider, but I contacted viator and they were swiftly able to get it resolved. Our driver Alex was very nice, and on the way back he agreed to drop us off in the city center rather than at port which saved us some time. I would recommend this 100%. If you're looking for a day of relaxation, Glyfada is a great spot. We were left at the Pazuzu beach resort which has nice comfy lounge chairs. It included water and a drink. They change the ice the water comes with regularly and the overall ambiance is lively but relaxing. No overly loud music. There were quite a few people trying to sell massages which were very persistent, even after we said no they kept coming back. I removed one star just because of the tardiness in the morning, the operator didn't contact us to let us know they were on their way, we ended up waiting 45 minutes (15 of which were because we arrived early) and a note to advise on this would've been appreciated instead of having us worried for half an hour that we had been forgotten. Lastly, the folks at the beach club did not seem to be able to find the reservation made by the provider. It didn't block us from getting what was sold to us, but there likely needs to be an improvement in communication because I've read this comment in past reviews. Thanks again to Alex!

Excellent beach day - 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.

Beautiful, Relaxing Beach Day - 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.

Cruise excursion for beach day - 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.

Beautiful beach, poor organization and communication. - I should have e paid attention the the reviews indicating port communication and organization. The beach was beautiful and we enjoyed our time there. However, I attempted to contact the travel company multiple times the day before and prior as when we arrived, we had no idea where to go to get the beach loungers. There were several section of them all owned by different hotels/restaurants. We had to talk to four people before finding where we were supposed to be. We found our driver for our transport to the beach but again tried to contact the travel company to find out when and where we were supposed to meet our ride back to our cruise ship. Were it not for the car company, who is independent of the company the excursion was booked with, I’m not sure what we would have done. The car company was super responsive and the only reason our day ended without paying g more money for a cab. Thank goodness was our first driver gave us her company’s contact info! Book with caution.

Know before you go. Communication is key. - Rating this activity as a 3 Star due solely to the lack of communication from the company. They delivered no guidance or direction to help us figure out where to go and how to redeem our booking once dropped off at the beach. There were no instructions on the booking itself. At one point the lady even hung up on me while I was asking for directions and when our transportation would arrive to pick us up.
That said, the transportation was amazing. Newer Mercedes vans which were very comfortable. The beach and the staff at the beach were absolutely wonderful. Beautiful water and even more stunning scenery.
Overall a great trip, just not happy about the lack of communication.

Just ok - 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.

Driver an hour late picking us up - Our drive was almost an hour late picking us up and therefore we had an hour less time to spend on the beach. The company did not contact me although they had my contact information and we were messaging the day before regarding the pick up time and location. I sent messages with no response. A kind woman at the port called them using her phone after we waited for 30 minutes and was told they would be there in 10 minutes. After another 20 minutes with no driver there, I contacted the number and the woman was unapologetic and provided no excuse. We were not provided with additional time for the tour. So essentially they stole an hour from us. Stay away!

Bad Service from Tour company to Glyfada beach - The tour company and the driver were on two separate pages with the pick up times and we had to scramble to get a taxi back to our cruise ship which was extremely stressful and costly as we had to pay 45 euros to a private driver. Do not book this tour
