"Famous for its sunsets, this charming mountain village has a sociable air and great beaches and mountain trails right on its doorstep."
If you come to Pelekas purely to unwind amidst glorious sunsets, turquoise seas and steep, pine-shaded hills, you won't be disappointed. This small, typically Corfiot hill village attracts tourists partly due to the popularity of neighbouring Glyfada on the coast.
