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. Local tavernas are renowned for serving up the town's
delicious lobster catches. There is a monastery, dating from 1228,
on the promontory about a mile from the beach. A medieval castle,
Angelokastro, overlooks the area, sited 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.
