Peroulades holidays

Holidays to Peroulades give you a glimpse of traditional Greece and some of the best scenery in Corfu.

Village vibes

Peroulades is a little village in northwest Corfu, just five minutes’ drive from better-known Sidari. And when you see its crumbling old buildings and Venetian homes painted in shades of salmon and custard, you’ll forget you’re only down the road from one of the island’s most popular tourist spots. If it’s tradition you’re after, you’ll find it by the bucketload here – a couple of Greek tavernas serve up platefuls of pork souvlaki, and a trio of churches give you a peek into the past.

A standout seafront

You won’t find a wide belt of sand in Peroulades – instead, the seafront scenery’s taken care of by dramatic cliffs and some of the best sunsets in Corfu. If you fancy a swim or a stroll along the beach when it appears at low tide, you can clamber down the set of steps to reach it. And if you’d rather eye up the views with a cocktail in hand, head for the bars at the top – make sure you stay for golden hour, because one’s even got its own glass viewing platform that makes a great selfie spot.

Views for days

Peroulades might have a scenic seafront of its own, but it’d be rude to come here and not pop over to one of Corfu’s most famous sites – Cape Drastis – which is 20 minutes’ walk away. Its curvy rock formations and unspoilt beaches make it one of the prettiest spots on the island – not to mention the water that’s as clear as polished glass. You can only make the boat trip there when the weather’s playing ball, but the clifftop viewpoint’s accessible year-round.
