PALEOKASTRITSA:
Sun, sea, sand and scenery, Paleokastritsa has it all. At the heart of its natural beauty can be found several picturesque bays with turquoise waters, which are ideal for swimming, snorkelling and watersports. The resort is backed by sheer cliffs of olive groves and cypress trees, and as such the terrain is ideal for individuals with interests in painting, photography, walking and hiking.
The resort hosts a wide range of amenities for young and old alike and has a fine selection of swimming pools, restaurants and bars.
Next to the main beach of Paleokastritsa a roads leads up to the world famous monastery, built on top of a cliff in a most idyllic setting. Visitors both foreign and local come to enjoy the spectacular beauty of the scenery each year.
Paleokastritsa has its own small harbour, this picturesque spot has a relaxed atmosphere where it is possible to hire day boats to visit nearby secluded beaches inaccessible by land, board one of the glass bottom boats or simply try your hand at fishing alongside the locals.
Close by are several neighbouring villages all of which represent the typically relaxed Greek way of life. Each has its own remarkable scenery, particularly Lakones village which is built high into the mountainside with incredible views down to Paleokastritsa resort.
CORFU TOWN:
Corfu Town is just thirty minutes drive away from the 'Elysium' apartments, and simply must be seen when visiting the island. There is a wealth of architectural heritage to be seen reminding visitors of the many nations that have historically fought for the occupancy of the tiny island for thousands of past years due to its strategic location.
Although the remaining architecture is largely Venetian, there are still many French and British influences to be found, giving the town a truly cosmopolitan feel and as such is widely recognised to be one of the most remarkable centres throughout Greece.
