Perouládes: Discover the Coast and Corfu

Discover Perouládes from two different perspectives: Loggas Beach shapes the local landscape, while the nearby Cape Drastis Coastal Path offers its own viewpoint. When looking for a hotel in Perouládes, this distinction can help you work out your travel interests: Is the beach your main focus, or would you also like to include paths along the cliffs? Beyond the area, Corfu offers historic old-town sights, museums, and hiking trails as a broader travel destination.

Loggas: Consider beach conditions when choosing where to stay

The narrow, soft-sand Loggas Beach is the main beach in Perouládes. In bad weather, it can disappear entirely, leaving visitors with nowhere to sit. Beach conditions therefore depend on the weather. Check local conditions before visiting rather than counting on having a place to sit on the beach. Caution is also advised when choosing a spot, as minor rockfalls have occurred repeatedly. These conditions are particularly relevant if you are planning your stay around the coast.

A cliffside path near Perouládes

Near Perouládes, the Cape Drastis Coastal Path follows a wide trail along the cliffs to a viewpoint overlooking the white cliffs of Cape Drastis. The path thus complements the beach with a different focus: here, the cliffside route and the view take center stage, while at Loggas Beach the focus is on the weather-dependent conditions by the water.

Corfu as a broader travel destination

Corfu adds history and museums to Perouládes’ coastal attractions. The historic urban fabric of Corfu Old Town is almost entirely preserved, and its buildings date from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. The Old Town and its two fortresses are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A digital guide to the Old Town described in 2023 offered residents and visitors information, including high-quality audiovisual material, on more than 80 sights. Before your trip, check whether the guide is available.

The Museum of Asian Art is also located in Corfu Old Town. Its collection comprises more than 11,000 objects from China, Japan, India, the Himalayas, and Central Asia. From Corfu Port, the museum can be reached by bus route 2 on the Mantouki–Kanoni route; check the timetable before setting out. The collection and the bus connection offer different points of reference for planning a visit to the Old Town.

On Corfu, ancient paths in the Achilleion municipal unit wind through the wooded mountains of Agii Deka, Stavros, and Garouna and are suitable for hiking. These are distinct from the 180-kilometer Corfu Trail, which passes through several settlements and includes Benitses as one of its 13 overnight stops. Corfu therefore offers named mountain paths and a longer route with several overnight stops as distinct hiking options.

The Kapodistrias Museum explores the history of Corfu, Europe, and Greece through significant artifacts and documents from the life of Greece’s first governor. At the museum, the lush garden on the hill offers views of Corfu’s landscape and across the island. Together, the exhibition and garden provide further cultural and scenic perspectives on Corfu.
