Angelokastro
Αγγελόκαστρο
The ruins of a Byzantine castle on a 300-metre cliff on the west coast, which withstood several sieges; from the top you can overlook Paleokastritsa Bay.
The castle was built around the 13th century and was one of the most important Byzantine defensive strongholds on Corfu. Its walls, a cave chapel and a church at the top survive. From the car park in Krini village, it is about a 20-minute uphill walk, and a visitor centre explains its history. Admission is about 4 euros, and it is open roughly 08:00 to 20:00 in summer. The mountain path is rocky, so wear non-slip shoes and bring water.
Opening hours
Approx. 08:00–20:00 in summer; shorter in winter
