About Paleokastritsa

On the west coast, the land breaks into a string of coves with water of an unlikely turquoise, backed by cliffs of cypress and olive. A white monastery stands on the rock above the sea, and above it all, on a peak to the north, the ruins of Angelokastro watch the coast. Many people say it is the most beautiful corner of Corfu. It is also the busiest, so go early or late in the day.
