Driving around Pelekas and the wider Corfu region is a rewarding experience. The roads connecting Pelekas to nearby beaches and villages are generally well-maintained, though some mountain routes can be narrow and winding. Here are essential tips for driving in this part of Greece.

Greek Driving Rules

Greece drives on the right side of the road. Speed limits are typically 50 km/h in villages like Pelekas, 90 km/h on secondary roads, and up to 110 km/h on main highways. Seat belts are mandatory for all passengers, and mobile phone use while driving is prohibited unless using hands-free devices. The legal blood alcohol limit is 0.05% (0.02% for drivers with less than two years' experience).

Parking in Pelekas

Pelekas village offers limited street parking. During peak season, finding a spot near the main square or popular tavernas can be challenging. Arrive early or consider parking on the outskirts and walking. Most beaches near Pelekas have free or low-cost parking areas. In Corfu Town, paid parking zones operate throughout the day.

Fuel Stations

There are fuel stations within a short drive from Pelekas, including options in nearby Ermones and along the main coastal road. Petrol (βενζίνη) and diesel (πετρέλαιο) are widely available. Fuel prices in Greece are displayed in euros per litre. Plan ahead if driving to remote villages or beaches, as some areas have limited services.

Road Conditions

The main road from Corfu Airport to Pelekas is in good condition. Village roads within Pelekas can be narrow, and parking spaces are compact. If you plan to explore mountainous inland areas or less-travelled coastal routes, consider renting a vehicle with good ground clearance or a 4x4 rental for added confidence.

Speed Rent a Car offers a diverse fleet of vehicles to suit every travel style and budget in Pelekas. Whether you are a solo traveller seeking economy, a family needing space, or an adventurer wanting off-road capability, we have the right car for you.

Fuel Costs

Fuel prices in Greece fluctuate but generally range around €1.60–€1.90 per litre for petrol. Diesel is often slightly cheaper. Most rental cars have fuel-efficient engines, keeping costs manageable even for longer road trips. Always refuel to the agreed level before returning your vehicle to avoid additional charges.

Toll Roads

Corfu itself has no toll roads. If you take a ferry to mainland Greece and drive towards Athens or Thessaloniki, you will encounter tolls on major motorways. Payment is made at toll booths by cash or card.

Insurance and Coverage

All rental vehicles include basic insurance (CDW — Collision Damage Waiver). This covers major damage but typically comes with an excess. Additional insurance options to reduce or eliminate the excess are available at booking or pickup. Review your voucher carefully to understand what is included and what optional extras are offered.

Best Time to Visit Pelekas

Pelekas enjoys a Mediterranean climate. Peak season runs from June to September, when temperatures soar and beaches buzz with activity. For quieter roads and pleasant weather, consider visiting in May or late September through October. Winter months see cooler temperatures and reduced tourist services, but the landscape remains beautiful.
