Two traditional villages full of charm, character and local stories — just minutes from the apartments.
Skafonas Apartments is located between the charming villages of Pelekas and Sinarades, two of the most traditional and welcoming communities on Corfu’s western side. Life here flows differently — more calmly, more naturally, more warmly. The alleys, courtyards, stone houses, and scents of jasmine, basil, and freshly baked bread create a truly unique experience.
Sinarades is a village rich in local character. It preserves authentic Corfiot architecture, hosts cultural events and features a small yet fascinating folk museum. Along its narrow streets you’ll find traditional tavernas, cafés filled with locals, and open-hearted people greeting you with a smile and a warm “kalimera.”
Pelekas is renowned for its breathtaking sunsets, attracting visitors from all over the island each evening. Built on a hilltop, the village offers panoramic views across the west coast of Corfu, even as far as Paleokastritsa. Its main square features local bakeries, small shops, friendly cafés and traditional tavernas serving Corfiot specialties. The famous “Kaiser’s Throne” is the perfect viewpoint to watch the sun melt into the Ionian Sea.
Staying at Skafonas Apartments gives you the unique opportunity to immerse yourself in authentic village life, feel the island’s real rhythm, join local events and enjoy a genuine, human connection to Corfu — in peace and harmony with nature.
