The island’s fauna and flora are world-famous, largely due to the Durrell family and the TV series. There is much to discover!

Paleokastritsa is rumoured to be the mythical island of the Phaeacians and the Bay of Paleokastritsa is the place where Odysseus disembarked and met Nausicaa for the first time.

It stands on a sheer hillside brimming with trees and olives facing the deep blue sea. The resort is very hilly and nestles beneath the folds of steep verdant slopes of olive groves and citrus orchards. Agios Spyridon is the most famous beach in Paleokastritsa.
