Title: Boat ride to Paleokastritsa
Post by: justphil on January 30, 2008, 01:16:18 AM
Jen and me have been aiming to go to Paleokastritsa for years now. In July we are definitely going, and want to go by boat. Does anyone know if you can get a boat from Arillas?  Or is it only possible from San Stefanos or Sidari?

Thanks for your advice

I think you can only get boats from San Stef now but they probably bring the boat round to Arillas for you. My kids did it a couple of years ago and had a fantastic time and I think Paleo is probably the limit of where they let you go. There was a thread on boats on the forum last year which had a lot of info on this.

Hi Philandjen

We did paleo by boat a few years ago, from Arillas.  I don't think they do it now as I have not seen the boat stop at Arillas pier for ages, as it used to do.
I am sure you will get a boat trip from San Stefanos tho.  It is worth it as the boat trip is great and paleo is a lovely place to visit, go up to the monestry if you manage to get there, the views from the top of the cliffs are fantastic.

We went from San Stef 2 years ago. It was a really good day out and would recommend it.We booked it in San Stef and I am sure the lady there went to pick people up in her car from Arillas.
I am sure Olga at Olgas travel would give you some information though.

ps we always have lunch at the fish restaurant right on the front. The sea food platter is wonderful!!!!!!

Thanks all! Great day out in the works then....

We love good fish, so we've even got lunch planned!

That's two more boxes ticked by Arillas! lol
