Perouládes is best understood through its coastal landscape. The narrow, soft-sand Loggas Beach is the town’s main beach; its conditions can change significantly in bad weather. Nearby, the Cape Drastis Coastal Path follows the cliffs along a wide trail to a viewpoint overlooking the white cliffs of Cape Drastis. The beach and the viewpoint offer two different starting points when choosing a destination.
Loggas Beach: changing conditions
In bad weather, Loggas Beach can disappear completely. Afterwards, visitors may have nowhere to sit. Take care when choosing a place to sit, too: minor rockfalls have occurred repeatedly. Check local conditions before your visit. This is especially important if a day at the beach is to be the main focus of your plans; the state of the beach depends on the weather.
A cliffside path near Perouládes
The Cape Drastis Coastal Path runs near Perouládes along a wide trail beside the cliffs. It leads to a viewpoint from which you can see the white cliffs of Cape Drastis. If you would rather take in the coastal area from a viewpoint, you can include this path as a separate option in your travel plans.
The two coastal features are easy to distinguish: at Loggas Beach, the weather and the availability of places to sit are important considerations; the nearby path leads to a viewpoint over the white cliffs. If you are considering Perouládes as a destination, you can decide whether the beach or the view from the cliffs matters more to you.
Corfu as a wider destination
Those who look beyond Perouládes to the wider destination of Corfu will find further cultural and scenic highlights. Corfu Old Town has preserved almost all of its historic urban fabric; its buildings date from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. Together with its two fortresses, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This offers a different perspective from the coastal landscape around Perouládes.
The Museum of Asian Art in Corfu Old Town houses more than 11,000 objects from China, Japan, India, the Himalayas and Central Asia. Its collection therefore spans a broad geographical area and is not limited to a single cultural region. The Archaeological Museum of Corfu offers an archaeological focus: it was built primarily to exhibit the Gorgoneion-Medusa pediment from the great Temple of Artemis. The pediment dates to 585 BC and was excavated in 1911 near the Monastery of Aghioi Theodoroi.
A digital guide to Corfu Old Town, described in 2023, provides residents and visitors with information about more than 80 sights, supplemented by high-quality audiovisual material. Check that it is available before your trip. From Corfu Port, the Museum of Asian Art can be reached on bus line 2, on the Mantouki–Kanoni route; check the timetable before travelling.
Hiking and events on Corfu
On Corfu, ancient paths in the municipal unit of Achilleion wind through the forested mountains of Agii Deka, Stavros and Garouna and are suitable for hiking. The 180-kilometre Corfu Trail is on a different scale. It passes through several settlements and includes Benitses as one of its 13 overnight stops. Corfu therefore offers both trails in a named municipal unit and a long route divided into several daily stages.
Cultural events are also part of the Corfu experience: the villages in the municipal unit of Achilleion host numerous festivals, folk festivals and municipal cultural events. The specific programme varies. If you want to plan your trip around an event, check the dates for your travel period.
