Fortresses, views and monastery
Visit Angelokastro, an ancient fortress on a rocky peak with wide views over the Ionian Sea and Corfu’s countryside. Reaching it involves a moderate uphill walk on uneven paths, so comfortable shoes are recommended. At Bella Vista, look out over Paleokastritsa’s bays, cliffs and green hills.

At Paleokastritsa Beach, you can relax by the water or swim in its clear sea. An optional boat ride may be available to explore coastal caves and coves; optional activities are paid separately. The route also takes in Kaiser’s Throne above the village of Pelekas. Bring swimwear and a towel if you plan to swim, along with sun protection and water.

Unfortunately too cloudy for views from castle and arrived at monastery just after it had closed at 12.45 (reopens 3pm) but we walked a short distance to viewpoint instead which was good. Enjoyed boat trip from Paleokastritsa to see caves (need €15 cash per person) and short stop at the Kaiser’s throne for photos on the way back of the extensive views. Bill our driver, dropped off and picked up near entrance each time even though very busy.

A great tour of historic sites and beautiful oceanfront in the northern part of Corfu island. Our guide Bill was punctual and informative, and above all friendly! It was like touring the island with a friend. Highly recommended!

The tour was excellent. Bill showed us around the island, and travelling with him was very enjoyable. Although the streets are narrow, Bill made us feel safe throughout the journey.
