Paleokastritsa is located in the northwest part of the island and very famous for its natural beauty. It consists of two peninsulas and five small bays. Some of them have pebble stones while others are sandy. You can enjoy your swim in any one of them.
The area is ideal for diving which you can do with organized diving schools or on your own with a snorkel. You can participate in water sports at all beaches and rent lounges and parasols. From the central beach you can enjoy a trip by boat and visit the caves of the area, e.g. the cave of Nausika, the blue eye and the cave of Ai Nikolas. You can rent a boat at the port of the area and make excursions to beautiful and romantic beaches which can be approached only by boat.
At the top of the rock is the Monastery of Paleokastritsa dedicated to the Virgin Mother and dating from the 18th-19th century. You can visit it daily. It is an excellent example of Greek monasterial architecture. It has a yard with domes and a small Byzantine museum with Byzantine and Post-Byzantine icons. The view from the monastery is wonderful.
