Located some 13 kilometers westwards from Corfu Town, the Pelekas Beach (also referred to as the Kontogialos Beach) is an inviting stretch of sand nearby the namesake village. Its blue flagged waters are used for the many sports activities enabled by various facilities on the beach, and the numerous nearby Greek style taverns and bars are able to round up the lovely experience at the beach. Close hotels and rooms and apartments for rent provide accommodation solutions for those who do not want to be accommodated too far from the beach.
Solomos Museum of Corfu is consigned to honoring the life and work of Dionysios Solomos, the national poet of Greece, who produced the national anthem.
The Kondokali Beach is another sunbathing venue awarded the blue flag. It is, again, located in the eastern side of Corfu, only 6 kilometers from Corfu Tow
Given its location in the Ionian Sea, Corfu – which is the northernmost of all significant Ionian Island – makes possible trips to Albania (port of Saranda)
