Pelekas, Pelekas, Corfu Resort Guide, Corfu Travel Guide
Pelekas can be found on the West coast of Corfu - just opposite Corfu (Kerkyra) town. Pelekas is a large village situated on the top of a hill. The beach is below Pelekas village - about a 10 min walk or a short car journey.

Pelekas, Pelekas, Corfu Resort Guide, Corfu Travel Guide
The village is typically Greek, with narrow roads and Orthodox Church facades.
Pelekas has a small beautiful town square. Time goes slow in Pelekas and you will notice the amount of locals just aside the square just watching the cars go by.

Back to Top of PageWho is the Resort for

Pelekas for the last 30 years, has been a favourite destination for backpackers - even the locals seem to speak English with an Australian accent! The famous 'Pink Palace' hotel has been well documented by the media! The locals though are friendly and inviting. Nearby Glyfada is slightly more developed and sophisticated with more tavernas and mini markets, but go to Pelekas beach if you don't like the crowds.

Welcome to the site Hannah, we didnt stay in Arillas, but very much enjoyed a visit there. We used a lovely taverna opposite a supermarket at the junction at the top end of the road that leads to the beach, called the Amourada we had a superb fish platter plus a couple of mezes a salad and drinks for about 20e. Was in 2007 so will probably be a bit more now but still amazing value for a lovely meal. 
A car will be a must as the bus service will not be frequent enough or run late enough to be of much use for sight seeing. Would suggest a trip to Paleokastritsa, its so pretty and has many good tavernas. The Achellion is a must, which can take in a trip to the lovely villages of Pelekas and Sinarades, as is a visit to Corfu town to stroll around (or get lost) in the campiello, enjoy coffee at the Liston and lunch on real Corfiot food at Rouvas taverna (near M&S) plus the two forts and museums. And thats just for starters. Loads to see and do and lots of great tavernas to discover. Am certain you'll both have a great time, and if you need suggestions for tavernas further afield I'm certain there will be no shortage of good advice.
