Holy Monastery of the Virgin Mary at Paleokastritsa

Lovely walk up to the monastery. Very peaceful buildings with nice gardens and architecture. Lovely decorations in the church and serene feeling. Also a further walk to the lookout with the cross and donation box...

Beautifully located and peaceful, with stunning views all around. It wasn’t crowded during our visit, which made it even more serene. A calm and spiritual place,definitely worth a one-time visit while exploring Corfu.It is free of charge.

Serene, beautifully maintained monastery high on the hill (15 min walk up), spectacular views ! Free entry and they will provide cover-ups if you are not deemed appropriately dressed. Donation box at exit. We arrived just as it opened in the afternoon so quite busy, but if you manage to visit in a less busy period you will certainly enjoy it. Really glad we went.

Beautiful monastery with excellent view. There is parking place, but recommend to come earlier coz it gets crowded around noon. There is public toilet on the left side before entrance, 1€ to enter. There are no tickets it is based on small donations to enter in to monastery. Small museum is also part of the monastery.

A beautiful, quiet monastery on top of the hill, car parking available, and excellent views. There was no charge to visit, with an interesting little museum. A gift shop selling various religious items. The small gardens and plants are exquisite. A quiet and serene bubble to collect your thoughts in a modern world.

Well worth the walk up. Not too steep a walk and there's a decent pathway up. The views are perfect. Sadly the monastery closes from 1pm to 3pm.

Well located monastery with a beautiful view. There is no fee to visit the monastery, however a donation is appreciated (but not mandatory). Inside monastery there is a small museum with old icons and priest costumes, and others. Definitely must be seen once you visit the beach…

It is a recommended visit in Paleokastritsa to start with, it offers a great view, walk in the yard of the monastery and small museum along with a gift shop. Free entry but you have to cover legs, they offer at the gate. Parking - two options, easier one is to drive up to the hill and the monastery. These are limited spots. Second option is the parking before climbing to the monastery. It is paid for the day. Then the walk up is around 10 minutes. There is also a path to a viewpoint which is easy and offers another view. It was quite busy with tourists and groups although it was already September.
