The beach of Kontogialos is the most beautiful beach of the western side of Corfu in Pelekas area. It is large with golden sand and is very well organized with beach-side restaurants, sun beds and sports facilities. There are four tavernas along the beach and a new hotel behind it. Kontogialos beach can be accessed by one of three roads and there is adequate parking at the northern end. This beach once enjoyed international fame as an essential stop on the 'hippy trail' - and though those days are gone, since the arrival of roads and a hotel, Kontogialos it retains the same idyllic qualities that once tempted beach connosieurs. Sunbeds and umbrellas are available for hire, and there are a couple of volleyball courts for the more active. Overall, the atmosphere in Kontogialos is quiet , & a sign of quality is that at the quieter ends of the season you'll find yourself sharing the beach with as many Corfiots as tourist
