Amazing Kontogialos Beach, Pelekas, Corfu, Greece
The beach of Pelekas or Beach Kontogialos, is located below the village Pelekas with the famous sunset. The beach of the Sea is one of the most beautiful beaches of Corfu. The great beach with a width of over 30 meters is generally quiet and, because of the shallow waters, ideal for families with children while the turquoise waters are among the cleanest in the Ionian Sea.
The beach was awarded with Blue flag.
Kontogialos beach is very popular among the locals, especially the young as it is relatively close to the city (13 km) but, it is also one of the most beautiful beaches of the island. It resembles the adjacent Glyfada beach. Different roads lead to these two beaches. It is certain that before you reach Kontogialos beach you will have the opportunity to enjoy the view overlooking this wonderful, verdant bay. Kontogialos beach is covered with fine, golden sand and it is surrounded by high hills, full of olive and pine trees. Its waters deepen smoothly and its sandy sea bed is suitable for having fun in the water. On the beach you will find many beach bars, taverns, rooms to let and hotels. It is a fully organized beach with parasols and deck-chairs and there is the possibility to engage in sea sports. There is also a beach volleyball court. A few decades ago, the settlement of Kontogialos and its beautiful beach was the favorite destination of the hippies but, today it attracts people of all ages, both locals and tourists. In order to get to Kontogialos beach, you must pass through the very beautiful village of Pelekas. This is why the beach is also called Pelekas beach.

The beach of Limni, Glyko, view from the sea, Corfu, Greece
Overview
The beach of Limni is a beautiful isolated environment which is located about 2 km away from the village of Liapades. Limni is a completely natural beach and since it has no infrastructure consider taking water and food with you. Its shape is very peculiar.
Essentially it’s a short white strip covered with smooth pebbles and no sand at all.
The strip merges the land with a huge rock in the sea and so a double beach is formed, where on the left and right are two beautiful bays with deep blue water. Once you are at Limni you will be amazed by the relaxing natural environment and instantly notice the serenity. The view is spectacular as you can see the Paleokastritsa, its famous coves the mountains and the green landscape.
Take advantage of this wonderful gift of nature in seclusion and serenity. Enjoy your time.
Walking guide
On the main crossroad you take the right for about 400 meters until you reach a white house on your left. You continue straight up on the dirt road under the shades of the olive forest. You reach a point when you see the blue sea on your right as you going down the declivitous rocky dirt road. Below you can see the “isle” of Limni.
Just before the dirt road becomes a concrete road there is small road on your right leading down to Limni. The main road leads to a dead end (2.5 Km) where you can take panoramic pictures of Limni bays and isle. You continue straight down the dirt road on your right for about 300 meters, passing a little house on your left, until you reach a yellow gate.
On the gate there is a sign in Greek which forbids the entrance and gives you wrong directions. Ignore this message and pass the gate from the right. Continue the trail through the buses leading to some rocks and go down the trail for about 100 meters. You reach a point where there is a wooden stand. Below you can see the beach of Limni and some wooden stairs leading to the beach. Be careful not to use the stairs as they are broken and not safe to pass. The best way to pass is from the left next to the wooden stairs. Go down the trail in to the trees until you get out to the beach of Limni.
Yaliskari - Corfu holidays, Greece
Yaliskari -
Yaliskari is one of the smaller beaches you will find in the area, but is no less popular than its neighbours. Protected by a number of exquisite looking pine trees, the beach seems closed off from the resort to give it a private feel. The turquoise sea is hard to resist when you need to cool off, and the two tavernas found on the beach offer authentic greek food for you to sample.

Корфу: Pelekas & Pelekas Beach, Corfu
Фрагмент фильма о путешествии вокруг острова Корфу
* * *
4-10 июня 2018 год мы совершили путешествие по острову Корфу (Греция).
Корфу (или Керкира) - самый северный и второй по площади живописный греческий остров в Ионическом море.
Все это время мы жили в самом красивом месте острова - Палеокастрица (Paleokastritsa) - смотрите мой фильм:
Взяв в аренду автомобиль, 3 дня путешествовали по острову...
* * *
Пелекас - живописная традиционная корфиотская деревушка, расположенная в 13 километрах от города Корфу, в центре острова, недалеко от центрального западного побережья Корфу, на высоте 270 метров над уровнем моря. Пелекас в переводе с греческого означает журавль. Посетители этой уютной деревушки могут в полной мере насладиться национальным калоритом - узкие улочки, маленькие церквушки, девственная природа, мало тронутая цивилизацией, тишина и красивейшие панорамные виды на горные склоны - не оставят вас равнодушными. На скале, возвышающейся над деревней, находится смотровая площадка Трон Кайзера.
В деревне Пелекас находится множество традиционных таверн, где можно отведать национальную греческую и корфиотскую кухню, а также несколько туристических магазинчиков.
Под деревней Пелекас, в 2 км, находится один из красивейших песчаных пляжей острова Корфу - Кондоялос (Kontogialos Beach - что означает короткий залив), на карте он же обозначается и как Pelekas Beach.
Песчаный пляж Пелекас отличается своей чистотой и приятным песком, на котором можно лежать часами под приятным греческим солнцем. Туристы отмечают, что здесь лучше всего отдыхать от городской суеты.
На пляже есть все, что обычно бывает на всех пляжах: шезлонги, зонтики, кабинки для переодевания, кафе, бары, рестораны, отели, а также снаряжения для водных видов спорта.

What can I do in Kalami and what can I see?
If you like exploring and walking, there are some beautiful coastal and scenic walks where you can visit nearby bays, the picturesque little harbour of Kouloura (approx. 15 min. walk), the next bay on the right of Kalami, which is one of the best highlights of the northeast coast of Corfu, then Kerasia (approx. 30 min. walk) and San Stephanos (approx. 1h 15 min. walk).

Be entertained with the various water-sports or hire a boat to explore the unspoiled beaches of the northeast coast. You can go on numerous excursions by coach or boat to explore the rest of Corfu or other neighboring islands.
On the 21st of May is the name day of Saints Constantine and Helen.
