    Paleokastritsa

    Your excursion begins with a scenic drive to Paleokastritsa, one of Corfu’s most famous coastal gems. Known for its vibrant turquoise waters, towering cliffs, and lush natural scenery, this area offers stunning viewpoints and a calm setting ideal for both exploration and relaxation. When reserving your tour, you can opt for a 45-minute cruise on a traditional wooden boat. This ride follows the picturesque shoreline and, when weather and boat size allow, includes entry into the sea caves—a memorable moment and a great chance to capture beautiful photos. If a slower pace is more your style, you’re welcome to spend your time on the beach instead. Take a swim in the clear water, relax on the sand, or simply soak in the peaceful atmosphere. No matter which option you select, Paleokastritsa provides a beautiful and unforgettable beginning to your Corfu adventure.
