Introduction
Paleokastritsa is a hidden bay on Corfu's west coast, where olive-clad hills cradle several emerald inlets with crystal-clear water and craggy reefs — hailed as the island's most beautiful shore. An Orthodox monastery on the cliff overlooks the headland, with blue bays and pine woods forming a classic Greek island picture. Ideal for kayaking into caves, snorkelling and doing nothing, it is Corfu's most relaxed and photogenic natural corner.
