At Pelekas, the main beach in front of Pelakos Beach Hotel is too busy to strip off; however if you walk south past Maria's taverna and up the hill, take the first turning right which takes you down to the harbour, walk on another 50m and there is the nicest little cove. My correspondent spent many hours here during summer 1999, swimming, picnicking, sunbathing, - the people that did pass didn't bother that he was in the nude. It was so secluded his wife stripped off for the first time on a beach!!! There are other little coves further on but it entails a little rock hopping.

Disappointing reports reach me about Pelekas beach. A correspondent reports that the widespread clothes-optional attitude that has existed there for 20 years has finally succumbed to road building. What so recently was a paradise for campers and young people is now the back yard for every family from Corfu town. Not recommended.
