Beaches and places on Corfu

 This is the beach near Pelekos on the Mid Wed of Corfu.  It's got lovely clear waters as have all the beaches we have seen, but a bit spoilt by a large development of new ugly appartments on one side close to the beach.

Beach near Pelekos. West side of Island.  Many beaches here have very steep road down - an up!

Taverna Agnes in Pelekos

Ipsos beach, North of Corfu Town is lovely with no high rise blocks, unlike Dasia it's neighbour which completely different.  When we cycled through Dasia there was a lot of building work going on so we cycled through the dust and traffic to Ipsos that we had been recommended by a Greek couple who chatted to us at traffic lights.

Alfs Taverna was great at the far end of Ipsos.

Nice spot South of Corfu Town with monastery on a little Island.  You could get a boat to Mouse Island nearby

Just South of Corfu Old Town, lovely spot with good Taverna and swimming from the pier.  Waters looked so inviting but it was not quite warm enough for a swim. Photo does not do it justice.

The Nautilus Taverna where we had lunch next to above windmill

We did not do justice to this area as we set out late and it was quite a strenuous ride.  There were monasteries and castle that we could have explored and a Porto Timoni beach and nearby village of Afionas which we did not get to, just too far, roads too windy and hills too high.
