St Peter's - Aghios Petros in Greek - lies amid olive groves at the foot of a flat, coastal plain with stunning views across the sapphire seas towards the Greek mainland. It's a tiny village with just a few hotels and homes dotted along the main road. Purpose built as an alternative to bustling Kavos, it's far enough away to keep the peace, but close enough to provide easy access to lively entertainment and nightlife. St Peter's beach is one of it's highlights - it is lengthy, sandy and generally fairly uncrowded - a real slice of undeveloped beauty. Take a stroll along the shore at dusk - you'll probably find yourself alone apart from a few birds, the waves and the wind shifting the sand on the dunes behind you.

Beaches
The beach in St Peter's is beautiful. It's an expanse of shimmering, white sand backed by tall dunes and accessed by paths from the main road running through the village. It's particularly popular with families because of the shallow waters. There's a small watersports shop hiring out jet-skis if you fancy an exhilarating experience on the waves. There are also umbrellas, sun loungers and snack bars dotted along the shore, so you can enjoy an ice-cream in the shade.
Eating out
You won't be disappointed when it comes to cuisine in St Peter's. The main road offers a fine selection of informal tavernas and inexpensive snack bars. Their menus tend to involve traditional Greek fayre mixed with a layer of British flavour, although there's also a pizzeria, and a Chinese and Indian restaurant.
Nightlife
In the evenings, some of the tavernas hire local musicians whose skill and rhythm will get your toes tapping and your hands clapping. Apart from these quintessentially Corfiot nights, there are just a couple of low-key discos but it really isn't far to Kavos if loud music and late nights are on your holiday agenda.
Shopping
With regards to shopping - if you want to buy food, beach regalia or a gift for the loved one you left at home, you'll have plenty of choice. Kavos offers a similar range with a little more quantity whilst Corfu Town offers a much more varied choice with a lot more quality.
Local information
There are plenty of cruise excursions from St Peter's, sailing to a variety of destinations. The Blue Lagoon on the mainland is definitely worth the two hour boat trip - it's cobalt blue waters and lush, white sands will touch your soul.
