Paleokastritsa Bay

✨ Hidden gem

Paleokastritsa Bay sits on Corfu's western coast in the crystal-clear waters of the Ionian Sea, surrounded by dramatic limestone cliffs and lush green hills. This stunning horseshoe-shaped bay features multiple small beaches with pristine turquoise waters, making it one of Greece's most photographed coastal spots. You'll find the historic Monastery of Paleokastritsa perched on the headland above, offering breathtaking panoramic views across the bay and neighboring islets. The area's unique geology has created several sea caves and grottoes that you can explore, while the nearby village provides traditional tavernas serving fresh seafood.
