Paleokastritsa Private Tour

A Private tour to Paleokastritsa is a perfect choice to discover some of the most beautiful places in Greece in just a few hours.

Located on Corfu’s western coast overlooking the Adriatic Sea, Paleokastritsa Bay is an area of extraordinary natural beauty, featuring rocky cliffs, hills, small sandy bays, and caves filled with legends. Visitors often refer to it as “The Greek Capri” for various reasons:

Greek mythology tells the story of Odysseus, whose shipwreck occurred near Paleokastritsa on his journey home to Ithaca after the Trojan War. Princess Nausika found him stranded on the beach and rescued him, inviting him to her nearby home, where he stayed for some time.

The coves, known as “The Blue Caves,” feature stunning turquoise waters and are located around the bay. You can visit them by taking one of the boat tours available in the area

The natural beauty of this place is so captivating that you won’t want to leave! Bougainvilleas, orange and lemon trees, hibiscus, roses, sunflowers, olive groves, and cypresses fill the landscape, providing an unforgettable glimpse of what Greece is known and loved for.
