Cape Drastis, Corfu: cliffs, a hidden bay and the north-west sunset
Cape Drastis is the white-cliff headland at the north-west tip of Corfu, just past Peroulades and about 40 km from Corfu Town. You can reach the cliff-top by road and on foot, but the small bay below is reachable only by boat.
Cape Drastis (Kavo Drastis) sits at the end of a narrow road that leaves Peroulades. The sculpted white cliffs drop straight into the Ionian Sea, the Diapontia islands and the islet of Diaplou lie opposite, and the sunset is the reason many visitors come late in the day.
