Paleokastritsa Sea Caves

39° 40.2′ N · 19° 41.9′ E · approximate

The limestone cliffs around Paleokastritsa are riddled with sea caves and grottos in clear, deep water — explored by dinghy, kayak or small boat from the bays.

Practical

Coordinate approx: placed on the cliffs just west of the monastery headland from OSM/mySea positions in the bay; individual cave positions were not verified. SeaDreamers' north-west Corfu tours stop at Paleokastritsa to explore its caves. Go in calm water only — any swell surges inside; watch for tripper boats. See the dive centres entry for guided snorkel and dive trips.
