Cape Drastis is more than just a view; it is one of the most alien and beautiful landscapes in the Ionian. Located near the traditional village of Peroulades, this geological wonder features imposing white sedimentary cliffs that have been sculpted by the wind and waves into jagged sea stacks.
While it isn’t a traditional sandy beach, it offers a wild beauty that is unmatched. Whether you are hiking down for the iconic drone-style photo or taking a boat to smear the mineral-rich clay on your skin in the turquoise waters below, Cape Drastis is an unmissable adventure.

⚠️ Safety Stay back from cliff edges |
To see the famous “aerial view” from the cliffs, you must arrive by land. Note: The road becomes a difficult dirt track for the last kilometer.
To actually swim in the coves and use the natural clay, you must arrive by sea. You cannot safely climb down the cliffs.
This is the most common question we get! The road to Cape Drastis starts paved near Peroulades but turns into a steep, dusty, rutted dirt track for the final kilometer.
Yes, accessing the viewpoint and the area is completely free.
There are no facilities at Cape Drastis itself. The nearest tavernas and minimarkets are in Peroulades village (approx. 20 min walk back up). Bring water!
It is spectacular. However, for the classic “sunset over the sea” view, the nearby Loggas Beach (7 mins drive) offers a more direct westerly view, whereas Drastis faces North-West.
Piictures dont do this place justice. The water is insane blue against the white cliffs. It’s a bit of a dusty walk down so don’t wear your best white shoes lol but it is 100% worth it. We just stood there for ages watching the little boats go between the cliffs – Totally unreal and totally worth it in our opinion.
One downside – Parking isn’t great, it is either along the road leading up or on a tiny little dirt area which we personally didn’t think was worth the risk.
