The inside story
Get a glimpse of Corfu’s religious heritage at the Paleokastritsa Monastery and enjoy breathtaking views of its hilltop location. Situated on the northwestern side of the island above the small town of Paleokastritsa, this large monastery complex is dedicated to Panagia – the Virgin Mary. Getting here is a treat in itself. By foot or car, you’ll pass through olive groves and cypresses with the Ionian Sea in the distance.
Wander around the small courtyards, charming archways and take in the monastery’s intricate bell tower. Discover the monastery's elegant 18th-century architecture and intricate Byzantine-style frescoes that adorn the walls. The monastery's museum houses a collection of religious artefacts, ancient manuscripts and precious icons. The calm and peaceful atmosphere will let you appreciate the true beauty of this area.
