The West coast of Corfu is fast becoming a popular choice for those in search of fabulous sandy beaches and dramatic scenery. Naturally sunsets along this coast are stunning with days feeling longer than those on the North East.
Pelekas Village is perched on the top of a hill, this typically Greek village is hip and trendy and famed for it’s colourful atmosphere. During the summer the village is bursting with life and local bands play live in the village square opposite the popular Zanzibar tavern. There’s a great choice of local tavernas in the village serving traditional homecooked food and a very popular Pizzeria.
Below the village is the stunning beach of Kontogialos with its sweeping bay of golden sands. There are some great tavernas along the beach and some fashionable bars with quality sun-loungers & parasols with waiter service.
This area of Corfu really is a paradise, from the stunning beaches, turquoise seas and dramatic scenery.
A brand new luxury five bedroom villa is under construction overlooking the sandy beach overseen by Prestige Villas and should be ready for rental in Summer 2022. The villa ‘Aprica’ is a modern contemporary design with plenty of glass to enjoy the views and a 28m long swimming pool incorporating floating sun loungers, a perfect spot for those Instagram photos.
For smaller parties of 2-5, Pelekas Cottage with a private pool is located a five minute drive from the village, a pretty 2 bedroom cottage with stone floors with high ceilings. The cottage has a contemporary style bathroom and a new kitchen.
For those looking for something extra special the very lovely MaisonRose is one of the islands most individual properties. Built of reclaimed hand-made bricks from the historical area of Plakka in Athens, the design and style of this stunning property will not disappoint. Nestled in the forest overlooking the West coast, the property is a ten minutes walk down to the beach of Kontogialos.
