Perouládes: Loggas Beach and Cliff Views

Perouládes offers a striking coastal contrast: the narrow, soft-sand Loggas Beach and a cliff path near the village. Each experience has its own conditions and highlights. If you’re looking for a holiday apartment as a base for your trip, you can first consider whether the beach or a viewpoint along the cliffs should feature more prominently in your plans.

Loggas: a beach with weather-dependent conditions

Loggas is the main beach in Perouládes. In bad weather, the narrow beach can disappear completely, leaving visitors with nowhere to sit. Care is also needed when choosing a place to sit, as minor rockfalls have occurred repeatedly. Check local conditions before visiting.

When planning, therefore, consider both the beach’s soft sand and the possibility that conditions may change in bad weather. If Loggas is an important reason for choosing Perouládes, take these conditions into account when planning your day.

A path along the cliffs

Near Perouládes, the Cape Drastis Coastal Path follows a wide track along the cliffs to a viewpoint overlooking the white cliffs of Cape Drastis. It offers a different coastal perspective from Loggas Beach: here, the cliffs and the views take centre stage.

When choosing the focus of your holiday, you can weigh up these differences: Loggas is a beach in the village, while the cliff path in the surrounding area leads to a viewpoint. This helps you organise the experiences you want during your stay without treating a beach visit and the walk as the same activity.

Corfu: Old Town, collections and hiking landscapes

The wider destination of Corfu offers a different focus from the coastal landscape of Perouládes. The Old Town’s historic urban fabric is almost entirely preserved, with buildings dating from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. The Old Town and its two fortresses are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

A digital guide to the Old Town described in 2023 was aimed at residents and visitors, offering information with high-quality audiovisual material on more than 80 sights within the city. Check whether the digital guide is available before your trip. In Corfu Old Town, the Museum of Asian Art houses more than 11,000 objects from China, Japan, India, the Himalayas and Central Asia. From Corfu Port, the museum can be reached on bus line 2 on the Mantouki–Kanoni route; check the timetable before travelling.

Corfu’s museums also offer distinct historical perspectives. The Archaeological Museum was built primarily to display the pediment featuring the Gorgonion depiction from the great Temple of Artemis. The pediment, created in 585 BC, was excavated in 1911 near the Aghioi Theodoroi Monastery.

Corfu also offers several clearly defined options for hikers: in the municipal unit of Achilleion, ancient paths wind through the wooded mountains of Agii Deka, Stavros and Garouna and are suitable for hiking. The 180-kilometre Corfu Trail passes through several settlements; Benitses is one of its 13 overnight stops. Thus, Corfu has both wooded mountain trails and a long route described in daily stages.
