Paleokastritsa Monastery, Corfu

Second visited place at Corfu, it's the Paleokastritsa Monastery. It was built on top on a green hill above the beach of Paleokastritsa (it's quite hard to pronounce and remember this word), and it gives a majestic view of the island and the sea.

The premise was dated back in 1228, has a small museum with rare Byzantine icons, holy books and other relics. Plus, there's a few sleepyhead cats lazing around each corner of the monastery.

Kindly check out the previous post here. Thank you.

Happy viewing!!!
