Liapades is the calm side of Paleokastritsa. The village is made up of a few lanes and tavernas, with the beach at the bottom of the hill. Fewer people stop here than in the main bay, which is the point.

Our top pick: Paleokastritsa: Kasteli, Blue Caves and Limni Beach Boat Trip

What to do

  • Swim and relax. The bay is sheltered, so the water is usually calm in the morning.
  • Walk the village lanes. Stone houses, small shops and local tavernas.
  • Visit Paleokastritsa. The main beaches and monastery are a few minutes away by car or taxi.
  • Take a boat. Boat trips from Paleokastritsa visit the caves and hidden coves.

Drive carefully. The lanes are narrow and parking is limited near the beach in July and August.
