The Corfu Trail
The Corfu Trail is a long-distance footpath which runs the length of the island. As the geographical centre of the route and easily accessible from Corfu Town, Pelekas is an ideal starting point for walks to both the north and the south.

Companion Guide to The Corfu Trail
This new edition of the Guide can be purchased online in pdf format so that each day's information and guiding notes are on a single A4 sheet. The maps which accompany the notes are cross-referenced with the day they apply to and the sheets can be laminated for ease of use.

Maps
Interactive maps showing both the village and the surrounding region as well as maps of the island and mainland Greece.

A tour of central-west Corfu
Hlary Whitton-Paipeti shows how you can avoid the most popular haunts and turn instead to the countryside, the villages and the lesser known beaches. Even in August, you can find peace as you explore the central-west area of the island.

Natural History
There is a wealth and diversity of flora and fauna in and around Pelekas. For those keen to observe the beauty of nature at close quarters, it is a paradise for botanists, ornithologists, zoologists and photographers.

Flowers of Corfu
During an eight-day walk along the length of the Corfu Trail 150 different flowers were photographed by local author John Waller. The same flowers can be found in abundance across the island and are mainly in bloom from March to early June, and again in September and October.

Corfu Costume Museum
Located just outside Pelekas this collection of costumes dates back to the 19th century and originates from both Corfu and the rest of Greece. As well as costumes, there is a small section dedicated to Corfu's musical heritage.

Triklino Vineyard
The vineyard is on a hill with a panoramic view of central Corfu. Local varieties of grapes are grown around a restored building in which traditional oil and wine production tools are displayed. Triklino Vineyard is on the road to Pelekas, 6 km from Corfu Town.
