Visit Corfu's beachy paradise with a Kontogialos-Pelekas holiday

A Kontogialos-Pelekas holiday will be one for the beach lovers, as it has one of the best stretches of seaside to be found on the west coast of Corfu.
Its nearby restaurants, sun beds and sports facilities give the beach the appearance of a well-planned paradise, whilst its vast, golden sands and crystal clear waters simultaneously make it a place of spectacular natural beauty.
Kontogialos-Pelekas has been a consistently popular resort for holidaymakers for over twenty years, and yet despite this, its very existence is still relatively obscure. It would seem those that flock back there year after year don't want anyone else to know about its sheer quality and beauty. We do, however, so why not book a Kontogialos-Pelekas holiday today and share in the fun?

Greece's monetary unit is the Euro. No other currency is accepted and it is best to exchange dollars or other currency at a bank. The exchange rates are all the same throughout the country and you exchange money at a bank or official exchange shop where you will get the best running rates.
