A relaxing family resort on Corfu's north-west coast, Paleokastritsa is probably the island's top beauty spot; cradled by steep wooded mountains and overlooking a sensational bay of deep blue water. There's a friendly manner about the place which will make you feel instantly at home. When the mood takes you, explore the numerous shops, bars and restaurants that line up the steeply-sloping streets. With a good supply of watersports and four beaches, Paleokastritsa will certainly keep you busy. Night-life here though is laid-back, with a good choice of bars, tavernas and excellent seafood restaurants, as well as a popular disco on the outskirts of town.
