Me and my friend went here during our two week stay to Sidari, we weren't really sure what to expect when we went here. when we arrived here we tried to find a space on the beach but it was packed and this left us with no choice but to go and find a restaurant over looking the beach (which was very nice). After this we then ventured on to the beach and finally found a space. The place is beautiful but there just wasn't enough space for us all and there was little else to do whilst waiting for the coach to pick us up to go back to Sidari.
There are five bays around Paleo each with their own beaches . The main beach by the harbor is sandy and safe for children but can get rather crowded in high season . The colours of the waters around the bays have to be seen to be believed , stunning shades of blues and greens .The sea temperature on this side of the island is much cooler than the East and is often quite windy . The best view of Paleo is from Lakones where all the bays can be seen from the terrace of the tavernas . well worth the walk or the hairpin drive up the hill.
The beach as far as beaches go ok but from where i was staying not a short distance to get to. Believe they had a monks church to visit but it was up loads if steps so didnt visit. Apparently people said had lovely views.so i guess if u are upto a climb then try it. Food court expensive on beach but a couple of shops for drinks. Bus stops confusing to find on the front. I personally didnt like the area of Paleokastritsa as nothing but hills and very few places surround the town. Corfu town on the otherhand is my place to holiday
Paleokastritsa是一座非常漂亮的小城,位于科夫岛(Corfu)西海岸。群山环绕,俯瞰四处迷人海湾,能领略每一处海滩的迷人景色,一直延伸至爱奥尼亚海(Ionian Sea)。这里有很多住宿选择,从最普通的到四星级都有,但是Paleokastritsa独具魅力的是游客所能体验的就餐品质。幸运的是,周围没有“英格兰/爱尔兰”或者主题运动酒吧,而且最近的麦当劳也在32公里以外。这意味着每个当地小吃店都很地道。很难挑出哪个是我最喜欢的,水准都很高,做的当地饭菜都非常出色、美味,以致于在这里住上两三个星期,都不大会有人对饭菜感到厌烦。同样,也不太可能会对他们所提供的饭菜感到失望。当地豪华享受中没有主题公园,激光角逐或者是充满能量的云霄飞车。不过却包含了宁静,泳池边或海滨之上的闲散时光,并且有机会去欣赏城市周围崎岖的村庄。我们最喜欢的活动是晚上溜达着去旁边一家餐厅,或者是在水上玩儿一下午(可以租一艘船自己开,也可以乘坐水上出租船)。如果想要寻找一个宁静之处,好好放松一下,我们肯定要推荐这家度假村。
lovely pretty resort but very very busy on the beach and in the restaurants. We found the food here quite expensive compared to other places we ate. There are a couple of different beaches and a few shops. The water is lovely and clear. We didn't spend long on the ebach as we had gone to see the Monastery
with its crystal clear waters and friendly locals this has got to be one of thee most beautiful places to visit and relax in
Only day tripped to Paleo but lovely little area. Take note though - this town is surrounded by mountains so get verrrrry hot in the summer.
Whatever you do when visiting Corfu make sure you visit Paleokastritsa. The Beaches are beautiful, there are small bays, one with a harbour, one rocky with a diving school, although be prepared the water is cooler over this side of the island.
This is a "must" for Corfu visitors. The contast between the blue and the green is amazing. The waters are almost always cold, but crystal clear! The view, rocky and rough, is unique.
beautiful scenary .Sunset at the beach is a must do,along with a glass of wine... Im island hopping back and forth from Lefkas island and will defo return next summer
