The Ionian Islands region
Corfu Town is just thirty minutes drive away from the 'Elysium' apartments, and simply must be seen when visiting the island. There is a wealth of architectural heritage to be seen reminding visitors of the many nations that have historically fought for the occupancy of the tiny island for thousands of past years due to its strategic location. Although the remaining architecture is largely Venetian, there are still many French and British influences to be found, giving the town a truly cosmopolitan feel and as such is widely recognised to be one of the most remarkable centres throughout Greece.

Corfu / Paleokastritsa area
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 young and old alike and has a fine selection of swimming pools, restaurants and bars.
Next to the main beach of Paleokastritsa a roads 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 simply try your hand at fishing alongside the locals.
Close by are several neighbouring villages all of which represent the typically relaxed Greek way of life. Each has its own remarkable scenery, particularly Lakones village which is built high into the mountainside with incredible views down to Paleokastritsa resort.

Guestbook
Here are just a few comments from our guests, you are welcome to view our comments book at anytime throughout your stay with us.
'We have had a lovely week. Everything has been perfect. The luxury apartment lived up to our expectations (and the view). We will be telling all our friends about it. Thanks you for the attention to detail both in the apartment and service' Amanda and David Booer-Jones.
'Myself and my partener stayed at Elysium in May 2008 and got married on the 29th. Both Gemma and Des are such fabulous hosts and not only ensured we had a wonderful stay but helped us out no end with our wedding plans. Attention to detail at Elysium paid by both Gemma and Des is second to none. Whilst we stayed in the gorgeous downstairs apartment my parents occupied the upstairs studio for two weeks which is more than adequate and kept fastidiously clean and tidy by Gemma. I would have no hesitation staying here again and have already recommended Elysium to friends and colleagues at work. We hope to be back soon and enjoy another holiday at what can quite easily be described as paradise. Thank you both Gemma and Des' Natalie and Lee Adams.
'We've had a brilliant holiday here, just wanted to say thanks for everything. The apartments here are beautiful, everything we expected and so much more! We'll definitely recommend this to everyone back home and hopefully we'll be back next year. Thanks again. Charlotte and Ryan Reece.
'The stairs; breathtaking, The view; earthshaking, We have not seen a lot of Corfu, This was all we needed mind you. The apartment felt like home, Your hospitality seldom known, Continue to be as you are, We will think of you from afar.'
Tom and Irma Lankaar.
