Pelekas is built on one of the most beautiful hills of Corfu which attracts many tourists every year. Apart from the traditional form of the village, with the narrow streets, the main square and its churches, its main characteristic is the magnificent view from the top of the hill known as the “throne of Kaiser”, because German emperor Kaiser Goulielmos the 2nd used to enjoy this magnificent spectacle. At dusk, the sunset from the top of the hill of Pelekas is considered to be the most beautiful in Corfu.

Great guide and driver - Vivi, our guide and Leo, our driver were beyond terrific! Vivi, a retired teacher, was filled with the history of each place we visited. We had a wonderful time and look forward to returning some day.
