Pelekas is the village that has something for everyone. Whether you are looking for sandy beaches and tavernas fringed by timeless olive groves; water-sports and nightlife; traditional food and drink; budget or top class accommodation; you will always find a warm welcome in Pelekas.
For more than 30 years Pelekas has been a favourite hideaway for independent holiday makers who return to Corfu year after year. If you are looking for a new holiday destination, either in the quieter months at the beginning and end of the summer, or the livelier days and nights in July and August, these pages will point you in the right direction. If you have visited Pelekas before we hope to bring back some happy memories.
Whether you want to laze on the beaches or by a pool in July or August; go shopping; explore the rest of the island on foot or by car in the quieter months; enjoy the history and natural beauty of the area; stay in budget or top of the range accommodation; eat in grill-rooms, tavernas or restaurants; travel as part of a group or independently; then there is something for you on these pages.
