Paradise at the foot of of Pelekas
One of Corfu's most beautiful blue flag beaches, Glyfada, is situated on Corfu's west coast, beneath the hill of Pelekas. Like many of the coastal resorts around Greece, the hospitality is welcoming with enticing tavernas offering fresh sea food, as well as laid back bars accompanied by soft music.
The emerald waters lapse the soft golden sands, with tree covered cliffs surrounding the beach, the perfect paradise to relax on your sunbed, take a refreshing swim and enjoy the views. For those seeking something more active, there are plenty of watersports to take part in from water-skiing to pedalos.
Whilst Glyfada offers one of the most beautiful beaches in Corfu, and the ideal spot to relax, there is plenty to see and explore too. Visit the traditional village of Pelekas, which boasts the most picturesque sunsets from the Kaiser Throne. Within a short distance from Glyfada there is the Monastery of Panagia of Myrtiotissa, opportunities to play golf, or even join a trek by horseback. Plus, the largest water-park, Aqualand, in Europe, great for families and groups of friends.
At Sovereign, we're pleased to introduce Glyfada into our portfolio due to the recent introduction of the new Domes of Corfu, Autograph Collection, the younger sister to the renowned Domes of Elounda, Autograph Collection, in Crete. The resort has taken a bohemian approach to luxury, with earthy, relaxing and modern tones that make this accommodation one of a kind in Corfu. It really is one to consider for couples, families and groups of friends.
