Best places to stay:
Standing on the best location of the most picturesque resort of the island, the Zefiros has been welcoming guests since the 1930s.
Simple and stylish yet fully renovated, it’s on the village high street right by the main beach and within walking distance of Palaiokastritsa’s two other beaches and close to the cross-island bus stop (25Km to Corfu town), providing a warm, relaxed, economical alternative for the independent traveller.
You can buy snacks and light meals in the ground floor café, open throughout the day, and relax while watching the world pass by.
