St Peters (Aghios Petros) Holidays

Aghios Petros Holidays – Quieter neighbour of partying Kavos
St Peters or Aghios Petros is on the east coast of Corfu, near the southern end of the island, 28 miles southeast of Corfu Town and the airport. St Peters is one and a half miles south of the port of Lefkimmi and more importantly the same distance north of the famous youth party resort of Kavos. In fact the resort was purpose built on a flat coastal plain in the 1990’s to offer a quieter more family-friendly alternative to its lively and noisy neighbour. St Peters is a strip resort running alongside a fabulous beach. St Peters will appeal to singles, couples and young families wanting to participate in the Kavos action while being able to escape back to a quieter resort and the dune-backed St Peters beach.

Holidays in Aghios Petros – Highlight of St Peters
A holiday in St Peters (Aghios Petros) can combine hectic Kavos with St Peters beach, which is long, sandy and far less crowded than its neighbour. St Peters beach is protected by sand dunes and surrounded by a flat plain with olive groves and views across to the mountains of mainland Greece and Albania. The water is shallow, making St Peters popular with families. Those on holiday in St Peters have the beach just a few hundred metres away and easily accessed by lanes running from the main road. They also have swimming pools and a selection of water sports and beachside tavernas and bars. Nothing however to compare with Kavos, popular with British under-thirties and an established resort for those wishing to party late into the night. St Peters has this famously huge array of bars, clubs and modern discos of every kind close to hand but far enough away to feel separate and get a good night’s sleep!

Holidays to Aghios Petros – Boat trips from Lefkimmi Port
A stay in Aghios Petros or St Peters could include boat trips to sea caves, Blue Lagoon on the mainland and fascinating Venetian Corfu Town. For a complete contrast you could visit the charming unspoilt islands of Paxos and Antipaxos from Lefkimmi Port.
