PALEOKASTRITSA - Travel Guide (Corfu, Greece)
Enable English subtitle ! - Activaţi subtitrarea în româneşte!
Paleokastritsa is one of the most popular resorts of Corfu, situated on the west coast of the island. It is located about 30 km from the capital Corfu Town, surrounded by green hills on the background of brilliant blue sea. It is considered to be the most beautiful resort of Corfu. It consists of six different bays and beaches with crystal blue sea water. Situated aobove, on the mountain, Bella Vista belvedere point overlooks the famous Paleokastritsa resort view with its magnificent bays and the famous monastery of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Above the main coast on a hillside full of wild trees and olive trees facing the deep blue sea stand this monastery who was built around 12th century. Inside there are a museum with Byzantine and post Byzantine icons. Outside the monastery, a canon is still preserved bearing the coat of Arms of Romanof (Romanov), probably since the 1799 from the short presence of Russians.
Paleokastritsa is chiefly memorable for the exceptional scenery along with the superb beaches. You can swim at six different secluded sand and fine pebble beach enclosed by tall cliffs, wooded headlands, olive groves, lemon and cypress trees and lush hilly countryside. Favourite walks are up to the promontory farthest west to find the charming Paleokastritsa monastery. You can reach on foot Agios Spyridon Bay with its immense beach, or by water-taxi. There are plenty of boat trips from Paleokastritsa beaches, the most famous being the Yellow Submarine and Nautilus, boats in which can be see the underwater world. Add variety to holidays in Paleokastritsa by visiting Lakones and other hillside villages, where you will find quiet traditional Corfu charm and memorable country taverns. The rock in the sea visible near the horizon is considered to be the mythical petrified ship of Odysseus. Enjoy a great holiday...
Paleokatritsa este paradisul pasionatilor de scufundari, apele cristaline ale celor 6 golfulete lasandu-i sa descopere fascinanta lume a subacvaticului. De aici se organizeaza si scurte plimbari cu barca sau cu celebrul submarin galben.
Bella Vista este un promontoriu pe versantul muntelui care domină stațiunea Paleokastrisa, cea mai frumoasă staţiune din Insula Corfu. Panorama de vis acoperă versantul muntelui acoperit de păduri de măslini și chiparoși, iar în partea de jos stațiunea Paleokstrisa cu ale sale șase golfuri cu ape în diferite nuanțe. Se remarcă portul turistic Alipa (cu Submarinul Galben), plaja și golful Agios Spyridon (cu grota lui Ulise și Nausicaa) și mănăstirea Paleokastritsa (Panaghia). Pe marginea promontoriului sunt mai multe taverne de unde pot fi savurate in liniste cafeaua si peisajul.

A video tour of Corfu Town and the South of Corfu from The Greek Islands Club
Our visit to the South of Corfu begins as the plane approaches the runway over one of Corfu's most famous landmarks; the tiny islet of Pontokonisi which sits adjacent to Vlaherna, with it's tiny 12th centaury church and surly one of the island most photographed views. After a short tour of some of the sights located around the centre of Corfu town, with its narrow streets and elegant café's we head south a few kilometres to the Achileon Palace built in 1892 Elisabeth von Wiltelsbach, Empress of Austria. The Place was bought in 1907 by Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany and on the coastal road to our next destination; you will see the distinctive Kaiser Bridge as you leave the area of Perama.
The Village of Moraitika and its less developed neighbour Mesongi can be found as the road clings to the waters edge just before the road bears right and heads inland. Most of Moraiticas bars and Tavernas line the main road whilst quieter spots can be found on the road which lead down to Moraitikas sandy beach. A small river divides the two villages, which is home to a fleet of fishing boats. Mesongi has a much more laid back atmosphere and a right hand turn at the mouth of the river will lead you along the beach front which becomes increasingly quiet the further South you get.
At the opposite side of the island can be found one f the most unspoilt areas Corfu has to offer. Halikounis (or Chalikounis) beach is quiet most of the season and forms a barrier between the sea and the Korison Lake, which stretches down to our next destination of St Georges South.
Not to be confused with the three other costal villages of the same name, this one is the most southerly (if you discount the one new Kavos) and has three distinctively different beach areas. As you enter the village, turn left to find a narrow sandy beach backed by cliffs and the odd Taverna. Back past the church and the harbour, the beach becomes wider and busier before widening out as it heads back towards Halikounis. Just a short walk from the car parking will provide you with your own piece of beach.
Our visit finishes with the more northerly Agios Gordis, which can be found around a half hour drive from Corfu town. Unusually the village has no coast road but has a boardwalk stretching of either side of the small beach side parking area. Tavernas and bars can be found overlooking the beach, which are backed by outstanding rock formations. Sit back, and watch some of the best sunsets available from Corfu

Walk through downtown Corfu
The Bazaar of Corfu Old Town (Greece)
Otherwise known as “Campiello,” this area is the fascinating maze of narrow streets, alleyways and steps that are squeezed between the Old Fort - Old Port - New Fort. It is like a miniature Venice with much of its appeal being the residential atmosphere. In centuries gone by this area was surrounded by city walls, long since torn down, but the only way to expand the living quarters was to go upwards. Therefore it is full of high buildings and you can often see laundry strung across the alleyways. This is a lovely part of the town worth visiting. Corfu Old Town is a shopper's paradise.
Being in the Old Town of Corfu (Kerkyra) trully is amazing. It has a fascinating road network, complemented by small squares which also developed naturally. They are mainly found in front of churches, and apart from their function as a place for social gaterings, they are necessary breathing spaces and commercial shopping areas in the densely-populated town. Shopping in Kerkyra might just only be a pretext for going back - yet again - into the magical mediaeval world of the Campiello, designer jewellery, high fashion boutiques, atmospheric antique shops, gift shops with a personal air and a touch of ethnic interest, workshops housing woodcarvers and traditional Venetian cabinet-makers. Folk art, contemporary trends and the Venetian heritage paraded before our eyes in the colourful images and successive surprises concealed in the labyrintine lanes of Kerkyra. Beautifully decorated window displays and colourful folklore stands, designer pret a porter and kumkuats, a 13th century church and a Venetian well, lines of washing hanging above our heads and the philharmonic playing: shopping in Kerkyra is a fascinating business!
Old city is also UNESCO World Heritage since 2007.
Cel mai deosebit sentiment pe care îl poți avea vizitând Corfu Town îl trăieşti când te rătăceşti în Kantounia care este un labirint de străzi înguste pavate cu pietre rotunde, acolo unde se află cea mai reuşită arhitectură a oraşului şi unde găseşti câte o surpriză la fiecare colţ al străzii.
