We didn't go to Pelekas beach but we did go to Pelekas a few times. Good restaurant in the centre and oddly, a witches' shop. Well worth carrying on up the hill to the Kaiser's Seat for the views.
The Beach in Pelekas is about 1km long and nice for taking a cool bath. In august it is very packed and a lot of People come here. if you Like This kind of beach athmosphere, its the right place for you. A lot of sunbeds and taverns wait for you. I personally would prefer more calm atmosphere for a relaxed day at the beach. But if you dont mind a packed beach with a friendly athmosphere, its surely worth visit.
Peaceful, loads of space, very clean, amazing views locally... Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to get away from it all..
The location of Pelekas Beach is great: the sandy beach is backed by wooded mountains, has cristal clear water, easy access into the water, is safe, has all opportunities for adults and children, sunbeds and bare sand, mondaine beach cafés like Naqual, and also ordinary Greek taverns. It is all there on that short stretch of sand between rocky cliffs. The romantic village of Pelekas is a short but steep ride into the mountains with several cosy eateries and Greek village atmosphere. Good for a couple of days relaxing holiday.
very picturess lovelywould be a nice place to stay flat enough to stroll about the sea was litterally chrystall clear beatifull only sent a couple of hrs here
This is a superb beach, very safe for families. Also take a snorkel as the rocks have little fishes of all shapes and sizes on. Beds and brollies have to be paid for but not too expensive. The donut man even delivers to your sunbed .
I'm not much of a beach and sea visitor, but one of the main activities during my time in Corfu was snorkeling and Pelekas is a nice place to do so. There's an area with rocks (big and small), where there a a lot of fish, and there's the main beach, where the sea is usually calm and perfect for a swim. And when there's some more wind, and the waves come in, it's absolutely worth a dive! Toilets and showers available, lots of sunbeds (to be paid for) and food and drinks available. Tha last week of outr vacation we stayed at Kaasiopi, in the north, and we rented a car so we could return to Pelekas, and it was worth the 1 1/2 hour trip!
clean, tidy, spacious, plenty of beds and brollies, lovely walk along beach every morning, showers before leaving beach area.
...for the following reasons:- fine golden sand - unlike some other beaches on the island which have stones or some stones, Pelekas has very fine sand to delight the feet- warm and clear water, with a while to walk before hitting deep water, and hardly any waves- no alge or any dirt in the water, just fish. the fine sand had a strange way of settling down as soon as you walked by, keeping the water vey clearBetter than Paleokastritsa (too cold) or Agios Gordios or Mitriotissa (a bit more pebbly)The village of Pelekas is very quaint and we had a very good lunch there. The beach though is a long way down (we went there by car) - there are some hotels and resorts near the beach, but I doubt there's much to do there besides enjoy the wonderful beach and water.
The beach is not far from the main road (but there's a steep descent towards the sea), there are 2-3 paid parking areas available (3 Euros / day) and a great restaurant near the beach. Sunbeds are available for free if you order drinks and the water is quite great. The sand is ok, there's room to have some fun playing beach voley or something and thre's also a hotel nearby. The only issue is that it's not close to any larger resort.As a personal (and spicy) note: prettiest girls are to be found here :)
