Kayaking the west coast — coves, cliffs and the caves

The west coast is Corfu’s paddling ground: the limestone headlands around Paleokastritsa break into sea caves and pebble coves reachable only from the water, and the outfitters at the bay run guided day trips (snorkel stops included) plus rental for experienced paddlers. Morning sea state is usually calmest; the trips run May–October with the summer season busiest.
