Palaiokastritsa

Palaiokastritsa is a coastal village on the northwest coast of the island of Corfu in Greece. It serves as a gateway for divers exploring the Ionian Sea with a cluster of nearby dive sites around rocky reefs and sheltered coves. The area is known for clear water and calm conditions suitable for recreational diving; however, the village itself is primarily a scenic spot with access points to offshore reefs, small wrecks, and vibrant marine life typical of the Ionian. With limited on-site diving infrastructure, most dives are arranged through nearby centers on Corfu town or other coastal resorts, offering coral, sponges, and fish life. For freshwater divers, options are not local to this city; focus is on saltwater diving accessed from the coast.
