Paleokastritsa

Corfu is known as the cavern diving center of the world that combines sunshine beauties and luxurious places together. On the northwest coast, Paleokastritsa is the most beautiful and famous area in Corfu for scuba diving. The area is full of spectacular caverns and caves, interesting shipwrecks, walls, and reefs, where certified divers can find barracudas, groupers, jacks, moray eels, common dentex, several types of sea bream, crayfish, octopus, nudibranch, cuttlefish, squid and a lot of other kinds of fish and invertebrates.

Beginners with their PADI Open Water certificate should head to the Hole of Ha, an easy cavern dive that ventures inside the cliff face – lookout for fossilized conch shells and dripping stalactites. More experienced divers should book an excursion to the Chimney, a narrow chute starting at 28m (92ft), or Colovri Cave, home to dozens of colorful shrimp.
