On the west coast, 25 kilometers northwest of Corfu Town, Paleokastritsa encompasses a glorious stretch of indented coast, with six deep, curving bays sheltering lovely beaches, both of sand and pebble, extending to a crystal-clear, blue sea.
It's popular with day trippers, so it does get busy in peak season. In the hills rising above the coast, you'll find another attraction - a 13th-century monastery with a courtyard garden, church, and small museum.
