About Pelekas
Pelekas is a village of narrow lanes on a hill in the west of the island, a few minutes from the sandy beaches of Glyfada and Pelekas. Above it is the viewpoint called Kaiser's Throne, where Kaiser Wilhelm II is said to have come to watch the sun go down, and from here you can see across the whole island to the sea on both sides. The village has a relaxed, easy-going feel, with old houses, small tavernas and one of the best sunset terraces on Corfu.
