Kaiser’s Throne is a stunning viewpoint located in Pelekas village, on the west side of Corfu. It stands high on a hill, about 13 kilometers from Corfu Town. The spot offers breathtaking views over the island and the Ionian Sea. It is one of the best places on Corfu to watch the sunset.

The viewpoint gets its name from Kaiser Wilhelm II. He often visited this spot during his stays on the island in the early 1900s. He loved the panoramic views and would spend time here enjoying the scenery. Today, many visitors come for the same reason.

Reaching Kaiser’s Throne is easy. You can drive from Corfu Town in about 20 minutes. There is parking available near the viewpoint. From there, it’s a short walk to the viewing platform. The path is paved and easy to follow.

The platform at the top gives a 360-degree view. You can see Corfu Town, the mountains of mainland Greece, and even Albania on clear days. The view also includes lush hills, villages, and the sea. Many people bring their cameras or phones to capture the scenery, especially during sunset.

The best time to visit is in the late afternoon. The light is softer, and the sunset colors are beautiful. However, mornings offer a peaceful atmosphere with fewer people around. Either time provides a great experience.

Pelekas village is very close. After visiting the viewpoint, you can explore the village streets. There are traditional tavernas where you can enjoy local dishes. Coffee shops and small stores offer a place to relax and enjoy the quiet setting.

There is no entrance fee to visit Kaiser’s Throne. It is open all day, but sunset hours tend to attract more visitors. If you prefer a quiet visit, early mornings are ideal.
