Cape Drastis

Cape Drastis is one of the most iconic natural landmarks in Corfu, located near the village of Peroulades on the northwestern coast of the island. A natural rock formation in the sea, shaped over centuries by wind and waves, known for its dramatic cliffs, interesting rock shapes, and clear blue waters. Green trees and plants surround the area, making it even more beautiful. The only way to access this unique site is by boat. This limited access has helped preserve the beaches in their pure and natural state, free from tourist development. From the top of the cliffs, visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the sea and the nearby islands, especially during sunset, when the light makes the landscape glow. Visiting Cape Drastis is a must for nature lovers and photographers. Click here to view the location on Google Maps.


To reach Cape Drastis, you will pass through the village of Peroulades. After arriving simply follow the signs. Αt the village square, turn right and continue for about 600 meters until you reach the end of the paved road. You can park your car there. Walk for less than 200 meters, and you will reach the viewpoint overlooking the cliffs. It’s better not to drive your car on the dirt road because in some parts there are large potholes. Standard cars may have difficulty with the poor road conditions.

Although the cape is best admired from above, it is possible to go down to the water by boat. If you keep going for 900 meters after the paved road ends, you will reach the end of the dirt road and see the sea. During the summer months, there is a boat there that can take you on a tour of Cape Drastis from the water, allowing you to see the islets up close.

If you liked Cape Drastis, you can check out Canal d’Amour, another impressive formation of sandstone cliffs located nearby, which is easier to visit.
