Placed
25 Km North West from Corfu town, Paleokastritsa is one of the
most picturesque and stunning places of the island.
Paleokastritsa is constituted by two small peninsulas which
permit the tourists to choose between six different bays where
they can relax and swim.
Here the water of the sea assumes amazing colours from blue
to green; for this reason Paleokastritsa is one of the best
places in Corfu for snorkeling.
We
suggest you not to miss
a swim near Skialoudi small islet, just in front of Paleokastritsa
which is
also a great diving point.
It’s possible also to visit Nafsica caves and St. Nicholas
caves, or just ask someone to take you by boat in a lonely beach
where you can find privacy and relax.
Moreover there is the possibility to drive along an amazing
panoramic road and to admire from the top all
Paleokastritsa area.
From this road you can see all together the six different bays,
the two peninsulas and the Mediterranean nature that together
with olive and lemon trees goes down into the Greek sea.
In Paleokastritsa you can also visit a beautiful and old monastery
placed on the top of a little promontory.
For more information about this monastery you can visit churches
and monasteries under the “history and culture”
section of our site.
