Private day tour
Paleokastritsa
Paleokastritsa is a string of small bays under steep green hills, with water so clear the boats seem to float. Legend says this is where Odysseus was washed ashore.
Why go
On the headland stands the monastery of the Virgin Mary, founded in the 13th century, with a small museum and a view over the whole bay. Below, little boats leave the beach for the sea caves along the cliffs.
What to do
- The monastery on the headland
- A boat trip to the sea caves
- A swim in one of the small bays
- The view from the village of Lakones, above the bay
Good to know
- About 40 minutes from the town.
- Bring a swimsuit: most people stay for a swim.
