One of the most charming places on the island of Corfu is Paleokastritsa, a cape overgrown with dense forest and surrounded on three sides by water. There is also a small resort town of the same name. It is 25 km from Kerkyra. Residents of the island have long been chosen this place for picnics and recreation - because of its picturesqueness. And the last few decades tourists have also turned up here.
The steep cliffs, picturesquely descending to the sea and forming cozy coves, beaches with silvery sand, dense forests on the slopes of the mountains - all together is a welcome sight for lovers of recreation amid unspoiled nature. Expansion here and for fans of scuba diving, for their services there is a diving center, and the underwater world here is very diverse. But it should be noted that the water in the coves of Paleokastritsa is always several degrees colder than in other places on the island.

Of course, this is not the only dish that can be offered, so do not miss the opportunity to sit in one of the local restaurants. Also it makes sense to walk through the souvenir shops of the village, the purchases can turn out to be not only pretty but also functional.
Entertainments, excursions and attractions
The inhabitants of the village offer tourists walks accompanied by colorful tales of local sights . In addition, a boat runs along the coast, which runs along the route linking all the most beautiful grottoes of the coast.
Theotoku Monastery, dedicated to the Theotokos, is located not far from the village. It was built here in the 17th century on the site of a previously destroyed 13th-century monastery, so buildings belonging to different epochs can be found on the territory.
In real life, the road leads to the monastery with a reversible traffic light, no one turns into stones, but there may be pauses in moving towards the goal. But the monastery itself is very interesting, and the view of the surrounding area from it is simply amazing.
