Paleokastritsa is one of Corfu’s best known beauty spots, where five pine-clad promontories enclose small bays of yellow sand or fine pebbles, shelving into crystal clear waters in incredible shades of green and turquoise. Overlooked by the ruined 13th-century Venetian ‘Castrizza San Angelo’ from which it takes its name, the resort today covers a large area, with holiday accommodation scattered around among the olive groves on the hillside, and alongside the winding coastal road. Whether you’re looking for stunning scenery or wonderful beaches, a lovely clifftop monastery or a good choice of bars and tavernas, and even a disco, you won’t be disappointed - ‘Paleo’ has them all, and lots more besides
