Paleokastritsa Corfu Corfu is an island where the sea meets the sky, and time slows to the whisper of the waves. There's no room for hustle and bustle here: the beaches are hidden between cliffs and olive groves, and the most beautiful ones don't shout about themselves from the main road. They await those willing to detour, stroll, or simply follow their instincts. I love Corfu precisely for this reason—for the small bays where you can be alone with the water and the silence.
