Sun, sea, sand and scenery, Paleokastritsa has it all. At the heart of its natural beauty can be found several picturesque bays with turquoise waters, which are ideal for swimming, snorkelling and watersports. The resort is backed by sheer cliffs of olive groves and cypress trees, and as such the terrain is ideal for individuals with interests in painting, photography, walking and hiking. The resort hosts a wide range of amenities for the young and old alike and has a fine selection of swimming pools, restaurants and bars. Next to the main beach a road leads up to the world famous monastery, built on top of a cliff in a most idyllic setting. Visitors both foreign and local come to enjoy the spectacular beauty of the scenery each year. Paleokastritsa has its own small harbour, this picturesque spot has a relaxed atmosphere where it is possible to hire day boats to visit nearby secluded beaches inaccessible by land, board one of the glass bottom boats or just go fishing!

'I have travelled all over the world and rarely have I met more hospitable and helpful hosts than Gemma and Des. As for the immaculate accommodation and breathtaking surroundings it's all you need. And all you'll ever need. Elysium could not come with a warmer recommendation' Hanne Klintoe
'Thank you both so much for enabling us to have such a marvellous break. It could not have been a better holiday. You did your best to make our stay easy, your apartment was pristine and your property so beautifully maintained-everything was perfect.' Janet and Neale Gordon.

stunning location

Suzanne and Steve Cheshire, UK
Review Submitted: November 3, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
totally amazing scenery

wonderful owners, incredibly hospitable and helpful.

studio is spotlessly clean and well equipped for self catering

lots to do and places to visit

if you don't hire a car the local bus is reliable for trips to corfu town where you can get ferry trips and connections to other resorts

for walkers there are interesting places to find with directions well marked, including lovely secluded beaches

boat trips and diving available in the resort

Highly recommended

Elysium Apartments

Guy and Cas Portsmouth England
Review Submitted: October 28, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
Des and Gemma's apartments are set in a hillside paradise overlooking a deep blue bay and olive tree covered hills that run down to the sea. They are spotlessly clean and have a stunning garden. The resort is full of taverners, enough to eat at a different taverner every night for a 14 night stay. There are a few small beaches nearby and also beaches that are accessed by water taxis, the main beach has 3 great taverners that almost overhang the sea with direct access from the beach and great Moussaka and Greek salads. The local wines are very drinkable and the olives are a pure delight. I wanted to spend a whole week without driving, too many days spent in England stuck on the M27, so we walked everywhere, this way we saw the olive groves, the mountain goat paths, the villages and the endless views from the tops of the cliffs. I have recommended Des and Gemma's apartments to friends and relatives and hope to get back there again next year.

An apartment with a fabulous view !

Charles and Tara Mumbai, India
Review Submitted: October 16, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
Perched on a mountainside, a hundred feet above the main road of Paleokastritsa, the access to Elysium Apartments is by a steep, zigzag jeepable ramp followed by a long flight of shaded steps.

The well kept lawn of the front garden with the trimmed olive tree providing a huge sun shade, forms the framework of a most breathtaking picture... that of dark green forested hills emerging from the turquoise Ionian Sea!

The apartments are located in a smartly renovated Greek house. They are well appointed and in a spotlessly spick and span condition! All services such as air-conditioning, lights & fans, hot & cold water, fridge etc. work flawlessly.

Gemma and Des, the owners, are a likeable English couple, who go out of their way to provide all help and comfort to their guests. Indeed, Des did an amazing patch-up job on our rented car which met with a minor accident.

Paleokastritsa is one of the most beautiful resorts in Greece, with beaches, mountains, grottos, water sports, boat rides, tavernas and restaurants, mini-markets etc., all within easy walking distance of Elysium Apartments.

We really enjoyed our week in Corfu and would certainly recommend Elysium Apartments to anyone visiting Corfu.

One of our favourite destinations!

Roachie morpeth, northumberland
Review Submitted: October 15, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
We are a mature couple who stayed in one of the studios in October 2009. We had an excellent holiday. The studio was small but adequate and very well maintained. The steps up were a good source of exercise - 89 to our front door!, but well worth the climb as the view is amazing.Gemma and Des were fantastic hosts and very sociable.They have thought of everything and nothing is a bother to them. The resort is very good, we tried a few of the local restaurants which were excellent, very greek and resonably priced. We did hire a car for a couple of days, but to be honest, everything you need is in Paleokastritas. We would certainly recommend this holiday and would definatley return, it is a beautiful resort. Thankyou, Brian and Eunice.
