If you’re looking for a truly unique destination in Corfu, away from the hustle and bustle of crowded beaches, then Kasteli beach is the perfect place for you. This small gem, hidden near Paleokastritsa, offers a unique experience of relaxation and connection with nature.
Beach Characteristics
Kasteli beach is a small, narrow beach, consisting of pebbles and sand. The water is its main feature: crystal clear, transparent, and with a stunning turquoise-green color that resembles a swimming pool. The beautiful white seabed, combined with the natural landscape of limestone rocks, creates a breathtaking view. It is a secluded sanctuary, ideal for those seeking tranquility.
Activities and Amenities
Due to its secluded nature, Kasteli beach is not organized. You won’t find sunbeds, umbrellas, beach bars, or other amenities. This very lack of facilities is what preserves its pristine and quiet character. However, the pristine waters and seabed make it ideal for swimming and, most importantly, for snorkeling and underwater exploration. Make sure to bring your essentials, such as water and a snack.
Accessibility and Accommodations
Access to Kasteli beach is exclusively by boat. You can rent a small boat from Paleokastritsa or join an organized excursion. This difficulty in access is what ensures its tranquility and protects it from mass tourism.
For your accommodation, the best option is to stay in the wider Paleokastritsa area, where you will find a plethora of options, such as the Akrotiri Beach Resort Hotel – Adult Friendly, with stunning views and all modern amenities. From there, you can easily organize your trip to Kasteli and enjoy its unparalleled natural beauty.
