Just 24 km. to the North East Corfu Town, this resort is one of the gems of this Emerald Island. The whole
region is one of wild beauty where the forest
covered mountains with Cypress trees pointing to the sky reach down to the
sea. Coves with dazzling white sand lapped by Turquoise and Emerald waters that
also fill the numerous marine cave and all overlooked from a hill by the
Byzantine Monastery of Theotokou. After leaving here it is
worth making the journey to Bella Vista to look down on the
Monastery and the bays round

Monastery of Theotokou.
This
monastery must have one of most idyllic setting anywhere. Set at the
top of a hill it
gives wonderful views over the sea and the coves
and beaches of Paleokastritsa . The decoration of the church is typically Greek
Orthodox and the religious Icons are works of art. It was good to see and
