• PALEOKASTRITSA
Fabulous Paleokastritsa is one of the most recognizable and striking destinations of the Ionian Islands having even been used in a scene from the James Bond movie “For Your Eyes Only”. The verdant, rocky hills that frame the beaches, with their crystal clear, amazingly blue waters, captivate the visitor. It owes its name to the neighbouring Byzantine castle of Angelokastro, located on its northern side.
Approximately twenty minutes from the city of Corfu (25 km), Paleokastritsa is situated on the northwest coast of the island. It consists of two green peninsulas with various beautiful beaches and bays dotted all around them.
Around Paleokastritsa, especially to the south, there are many beaches of unique beauty, the majority of which are either difficult to access or very isolated. Many are only accessible from the sea. These hidden beaches generally are comprised of small pebbles and a little sand but have the amazingly turquoise, crystal-clear water in common. They normally have no tourist development so are totally unspoilt. This adds to their exotic beauty. Renting a boat is recommended as there are numerous caves to explore along this part of the coast.
The sea at Paleokastritsa, and on the west coast of Corfu, is typically cold. There is also a scuba diving centre and the area is suitable for snorkeling too.
• BEACHES
The main beach of the area is located below the monastery of Panagia Paleokastritsa and is the largest, with excellent tourist infrastructure. The most isolated, smallest bays are Alipa, Agia Triada, Agios Petros, Ambelaki and Platakia, all a short distance from each other. At Alipa there is a little port from which boats depart to explore the more southern, hidden beaches. Umbrellas and sunbeds can be hired on most of the beaches, the main ones also being equipped with showers.
There is the very rugged, craggy La Grotta beach, which has a vibrant, beach bar in an elevated position overlooking the scintillating, azure waters. It is well worth the trek down the 142 steps to get to, as it is a truly enchanting! The beach bar has a great selection of cocktails and drinks. It caters for a younger crowd in summer with loud, chill-out’ music being played. If you are in search of peace and quiet this beach is not an option.

• DOUKADES
The traditional, historic settlement with its majestic beauty.
Villages of great interest are hidden above the cosmopolitan resort of Paleokastritsa. These villages have been described as a “traditional settlement”, as they have a similar background. One of the most picturesque and beautiful villages of them all is Doukades.
In the village there are many remarkable mansions that one can discover while wandering along its alleys.
In the beautiful stone square of the village, you will find tavernas and cafes, where you can enjoy traditional Corfiot cuisine or cool off with a refreshing tsitsimbyra, (Ginger Beer), the local soft drink of the island!
Hiking enthusiasts can enjoy the route along a cobbled path through the forest, which leads to the church of Agios Symeon, at an altitude of 350 meters. From this point you can see all the coves of Paleokastritsa!

Everything is very easily accessible on foot while in Doukades. It is absolutely lovely to walk around and view.
