Between 1908 and the First World War the German Kaiser, Wilhelm, spent his summers at Achilleion Palace on the east coast of Corfu. His favourite trip was to Pelekas to watch the sunset. A lookout point on the rock summit above the village is still known today as "Kaisers Throne" from where you can enjoy the breathtaking view of the island spread out below. The best place to watch the magnificent sunset is from the terrace of the nearby Levant Hotel.
