Paleokastitsa Beach, Corfu

We moved to the next spot after the monastery visiting, it's the Paleokastritsa Beach. The color of the sea is just wonderful, it's a gradient of 3 color tones; blue, turquoise and green. Besides that, the temperature of the sea water is unlike others, it's icy cool.

We don't have much time here though, so all we can do is enjoy the scenery (a quick one) and take some photos.

Happy viewing!!!

Petros dropped us here for a quick sightseeing

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!!!
