Cape Drastis is a lonely place, a windswept peninsula topped with a struggle between olive groves and the relentless
maquis, the fragrant scrub-forest of Mediterranean islands. Down a tired track we walk, from the village of Peroulades, past the whitewashed school, into the olive groves. The road a streambed, studded with rocks, impassable for the average car.
Cape Drastis has not been touched by tourism. It is not easy to get to unless you have a 4 wheel drive vehicle or sturdy motorbike. It is about 2 Km past Peroulades. Cape Drastis can be walked in about 45 min from Peroulades. After a long climb uphill and then down to the tiny cove you will see where many a smugglers boat has landed over the years.
