Ano Mera, Mykonos

Ano Mera is a village that sits on the highest land at Mykonos Island. There is an oldest monastery that was built in year 1524 and reformed in 1767. The interior of the monastery is decorated with detail mural, carved wood and silverware. 

After the visit, we were treated with another luncheon of Greek food at a restaurant next door. 

Happy viewing!!!

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!!!
