On the northwest coast of the island of Corfu, Paleokastritsa is often considered one of the most beautiful villages in all of Greece. Surrounded by olive groves and cypress trees, it is set around three bays and boasts more than a dozen beaches. According to legend, Paleokastritsa is where Odysseus was shipwrecked and met Nausica. The village’s beaches offer great opportunities for swimming, diving and other water sports. There are also caves around the bays that are worth exploring by using one of the available taxi boats.
