Découvrir Paleokastritsa Monastery

4,3/5 (160)

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.

Avis Paleokastritsa Monastery

3/5

“Driver and tour guide were excellent. We spent 2 and a half hours picking up passengers! Achilleion Palace was closed (our reason for booking trip) and so could only visit the gardens. Small stops for toilets-no coffee stops. Kumquat Distillery closed for viewing so we watched a video. Lunch at Paleo had one vegan option and salad and chips. After lunch and the boat trip we were back on the coach- no time to look round Paleo. The trip lasted 11 hours! We wasted a whole day of our holiday.”

“Spent over an hour going up and down the same road picking people up. Over 3 hours spent on coffee and food stops. Taken to a kumquat distillery, not previously told about in schedule and purely a commercial exercise. Details said 4 to 8 hours but it was 10 hours. Guide never gave time to ask questions but kept repeating her script.”

“The Achillion Palace was a beautiful area. Unfortunately the Palace was closed for renovation and had been for sometime. It would have been very useful to have known this prior to booking as it would have influenced our decision to book the tour. The tour guide was clearly very knowledgeable about the island, some of which was very interesting. Unfortunately she talked constantly while travelling which became very wearing quite quickly Paleokasttritska was a beautiful area. There was very little”

“The palace was disappointing as you couldn't go in. Spent too long on the coach and not enough time at the destinations to explore. Was told to follow guide for lunch which was not what we were expecting. Made to feel uncomfortable as wasn't our choice. Was not told we could go somewhere else for lunch. The boat trip was optional but again was not made clear and everyone ended up going on that also.”
