Paleokastritsa Holidays
On an island renowned for its outstanding scenery, Paleokastritsa stands unrivalled as Corfu's finest beauty spot. It boasts five stunning bays, as well as a pretty monastery perched high on the clifftop. Snorkelling and diving from the rocks into the clear waters is a real pleasure. There are water-taxis available to the vast beach at Aghios Georgios. Spend your evenings in the tavernas and good selection of bars or treat yourself by dining at the smattering of more expensive restaurants. Quality seafood is widely available. Buses do run to Corfu Town but the service can be erratic. Exchange facilities are available, and credit cards are widely accepted.
Its name is a bit of a mouthful but it's known as a bit of a beauty. Holidays in Paleokastritsa are amid the loveliest landscape on this famously green and scenic island. And don't worry about the tongue-twister title its friends just call the place Paleo.
On Corfu's western shore, this resort has it all - coast, countryside and a cosmopolitan air. Following the folds of the foothills as they meet the blue of the sea, it lines a series of inlets to give you five enticing pebble bays. These are the natural focus of Paleokastritsa holidays. And with watersports to master and pedaloes to paddle, you can set your own pace for sun-soaking days. Or just enjoy waiting on the world's most relaxing rank to take a water taxi to the sands of Agios Georgios. Turn your back on the beaches and you see the other side of the scenery - forested slopes in the foreground, stark rocky cliffs behind. A hike in the hills would bring you to the 13th century ruins of the 'old castle' from which Paleo took its name. The downhill return brings you back to a town peppered with bars and nightclubs, restaurants that are smart and expensive and tavernas that are cheerfully cheap. Holidays to Paleokastritsa can be a great blend of peace and party.
Have a look at the Hotel Paleo Inn for a relaxing base. Late deals may be available for last minute holidays to Paleokastritsa but you'd be wise not to rely on it
