Paleokastritsa, Corfu © Corfu Xenos |
Overview This large holiday resort area is on the west coast of Corfu
island about 16 miles (26km) from Corfu Town and consists of six
beautiful coves with sandy beaches, surrounded by green forests and
olive trees. The local tavernas, clustered around the waterfront,
are renowned for serving up the town's delicious lobster catches,
and there are a few bars and clubs that provide after hours
entertainment. There is a monastery, dating from 1228, on the
promontory about a mile from the beach with a surprisingly nice
selection of gifts and handcrafted souvenirs. A medieval castle,
Angelokastro, overlooks the area, sitting on a hilltop which can be
reached by a very scenic drive via the village of Lakones, or on
foot, though the walk is arduous. There are several nearby villages
worth exploring, and Paleokastritsa is a good base from which to
explore Corfu.

- Lie in the sun, swim in the sea and have a nice lazy lunch OR hire a boat, go out on an organised boat trip, walk up to the Monastry, walk up to the village above the resort (takes about an hour up the donkey track), catch the bus into town (goes every hour or so), take photos........so much or so little! : Karen Nicol...See More Tips | Add Tip
