Villa for rent in Paleokastritsa, Corfu, Greece

About Paleokastritsa
This large resort area is on the west coast of Corfu island (about 16 miles/26km from Corfu Town) and consists of six beautiful coves with sandy beaches, surrounded by green forests and olive trees. Local tavernas are renowned for serving up the town’s delicious lobster catches. There is a monastery, dating from 1228, on the promontory about a mile from the beach. A medieval castle, Angelokastro, overlooks the area, sited on a hilltop which can be reached by a very scenic drive via the village of Lakones, or on foot, though the walk is arduous.
This resort is famous for its breathtaking beauty and magnificent scenery. Paleokastritsa is the type of place where you will quickly make friends with locals and be drawn back to its beauty and charm again and again. Retaining a fairly laid back atmosphere this is the perfect retreat for families and anyone wishing to escape the bustle of every day life, although the resort does get rather busy with `day trips` wanting to capture the beautiful views such as those from the ?Bella Vista? 0n film.
