Recommended stops
You can visit all the places from the list or pick only the ones you like. Just inform your driver about your choice before the ride. During the stops you can do whatever you want: visit the landmarks, take pictures e.t.c. Take as much time as you want within the overall time limit of the trip.
Paleokastritsa Bay
A series of jewel-toned coves wrapped in lush green headlands, ideal for swimming, photos, or a quick coastal walk. Local skiffs offer short cave runs to the “Blue Eye” (optional, paid locally), and there are easy beachfront spots for a snack between viewpoints.
Paleokastritsa Monastery
A serene 13th‑century monastery with whitewashed arches, a small museum, and terraces peering straight over the Ionian. The atmosphere is quiet and reflective; modest dress is appreciated, and entry is typically free with donation boxes on site.
Lakones – Bella Vista Viewpoint
High above the bays, this famed lookout delivers the postcard panorama of Paleokastritsa’s turquoise inlets and rocky capes. It’s a natural pause for wide‑angle photos and a coffee at a balcony café while you trace the winding coast below.
Angelokastro (Byzantine Castle)
Clifftop fortress ruins reached via a short but steady uphill path, rewarding you with island‑wide views and dramatic sea cliffs. Expect a simple ticket kiosk at the trailhead (fee not included); sturdy footwear makes the brief climb easier.

Suggested Itinerary
Begin your day with a comfortable pickup from your accommodation in Corfu Town and head west toward one of the island’s most celebrated coastal regions.
Your first stop is 1Paleokastritsa Bay, renowned for its emerald-colored bays and dramatic headlands. Take time to swim, relax, or capture photos of the iconic coves. If you wish, you may join a short local boat trip to the nearby Blue Eye caves, available on the spot for an additional fee.
Continue to 2Paleokastritsa Monastery, a peaceful 13th-century monastery perched above the sea. Wander through its whitewashed courtyard filled with flowers and enjoy sweeping coastal views that offer a tranquil contrast to the lively beaches below.
Next, follow the winding road up to 3Lakones – Bella Vista Viewpoint, the famous Bella Vista viewpoint in Lakones. Often called the “balcony of the Ionian,” this panoramic spot overlooks Paleokastritsa’s bays and is ideal for photos or a relaxed coffee stop with unforgettable scenery.
Conclude your ride at 4Angelokastro (Byzantine Castle), the ruins of a hilltop Byzantine castle. A short uphill walk leads to the fortress, where expansive 360° views reward your effort and provide a dramatic finale to your west coast exploration.
After enjoying these highlights, sit back and relax as your driver returns you comfortably to your accommodation, with scenic countryside views along the way.
