Palaiokastritsa (Greek. Παλαιοκαστρίτσα) - holiday village on the North West coast of Corfu. Is 19 kilometers from Corfu town. The population of 250 people.
The Greek word Παλαιοκαστρίτσα means "the place of the old castle," and this expression refers to are located to the North of Paleokastritsa's ruined Byzantine fortress of the XIII century, Angelokastro.
The coast of Paleokastritsa consists of six bays (Ambelaki, Agios Petros, Agios Spyridonas, Agia Triada, Latakia and Alipa), separated from each other protruding wooded headlands.
As the ancient Greeks, the Bay of Paleokastritsa was the place where they landed the hero of the Greek epic Odysseus and where he met Nausicaa.
The Bay of Paleokastritsa is known for the fact that it starred one of the movies about James bond, agent 007 - "for your eyes Only" (For Your Eyes Only, 1981).
The transformation of a quiet fishing village, which was Paleokastritsa many centuries, the object of tourism and recreation began in 1950. This place is known for its scenery. From the height of the steep cliffs are seen the olive plantations, pine-covered hills, the cliffs, coves and sandy beaches with Golden sand, as well as panorama mountain village Lakones. In Paleokastritsa has many hotels of different categories, apartments, campsites, restaurants, tavernas and bars. However, the sea in the bays of Paleokastritsa because of the currents is always a few degrees colder than other places on the island.
