More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Morning light on Corfu lifts the colour of the sea to an almost electric turquoise as a private vehicle threads olive groves toward Paleokastritsa. The bay dares you with cliffs that drop into caves; small islets sit like punctuation marks offshore. A walk up to Theotokos Monastery reveals stone terraces and an uncompromising view where wind and surf shape the coastline.

Morning light for views
Start in Paleokastritsa early; calmer seas and softer light make the headland and monastery more photogenic and the optional boat trips smoother.
