Pelekas Corfu: Pelekas beach in the island of Corfu, Greece, Ionian

The Pelekas beach has been subjected to the specter of mass unrestricted tourism ever since the 1960’s and has ever since than been a favorite destination for backpackers. You will be surprised to note that even the local residents speak English fluently and many speak with a distinct American and Australian accent. The locals are warm and friendly and they go that extra mile just to see their international guests smiling.

The beach is conspicuous by its soft sands and there is no dearth of sunbeds. Modern beach amenities like toilets and shower facilities are available in plenty.

As far as cleanliness of the beach is concerned, it is indeed marvelously clean. For those interested on going to short excursions, a trip to the quaint fishing harbor located down south can be a very rewarding experience.

For the intrepid thrill seekers, there are numerous rocky cliffs from where one can jump into the water. These jumping spots have been popularized by numerous high quality travel shows on TV.
