Package holiday to Paleokastritsa

Paleokastritsa is the crown jewel of the west coast of Corfu and one of the most beautiful coastal stretches in the entire Mediterranean. Six turquoise bays nestle against dramatic, wooded cliffs, creating a panorama that would have amazed even Odysseus - who, according to legend, was shipwrecked right here among the Phaeacians. The water shimmers in an unreal spectrum from emerald green to deep blue, and the lush Mediterranean vegetation reaches right to the beach.

High above the bays stands the 13th-century Monastery of Theotokos, one of the oldest and most beautiful monasteries in Corfu. The whitewashed walls and the blooming garden provide a stunning contrast to the deep blue sea below. A small museum in the monastery displays Byzantine icons and historical artifacts, while the monks produce their own olive oil and wine. Admission is free, but appropriate clothing is required.

The individual bays of Paleokastritsa each have their own character. The main bay offers organized beaches with sun loungers and taverns, while the smaller bays can only be reached by boat or steep paths, rewarding visitors with crystal-clear water and nearly untouched nature. Glass-bottom boat trips and kayak tours explore the sea caves and grottos along the coast, where light creates spectacular color displays on the rock walls.

Angelokastro, a Byzantine fortress ruin atop the highest cliff, offers perhaps the most magnificent panorama of all of Corfu after a steep ascent - from here you can overlook the entire west coast down to Ermones. Paleokastritsa is only 25 kilometers from Corfu Town and can be reached in about 30 minutes via a winding mountain road. Corfu Airport has direct flights from Germany.

Paleokastritsa particularly impresses with stunning beaches, breathtaking nature, first-class relaxation options. As a package holiday destination, you benefit from attractive all-inclusive packages with flights, hotels, and often transfers – all at a fixed price and fully secured.
