About Paleokastritsa Beach

Paleokastritsa Beach es un conjunto de calas de singular belleza en la costa oeste de Corfú, reconocible por sus aguas turquesas de gran transparencia y los imponentes acantilados cubiertos de vegetación. La playa principal —Agios Spyridon, de arena y guijarros— se extiende a los pies del Monasterio de Paleokastritsa, del siglo XIII, al que se accede por un sendero descendente de escaso recorrido. En las inmediaciones, Angelokastro, una fortaleza bizantina encaramada a una colina de 305 metros, regala vistas panorámicas del mar Jónico. La zona cuenta con tumbonas de alquiler, tabernas y excursiones en barco hacia cuevas recónditas a lo largo del litoral. Desde Corfú ciudad, el trayecto en coche es de unos 25 kilómetros.
