Paleokastritsa
Agios Spyridon is the central sand beach of Paleokastritsa bay on Corfu's west coast, one of six coves cut into cliffs and sea caves, with the Monastery of the Virgin of Paleokastritsa on the headland above. Small boats leave from Alypa harbour next door for the coves along the coast, including Chomi, which has no way in by land.
