Holy Monastery of the Virgin Mary at Paleokastritsa

A beautiful, well-maintained complex with a church, museum and charming gardens. Inside you’ll find Byzantine icons, relics, and even an old olive press. a nice break from the busy beaches and tourist spots. Expect a short uphill walk (about 10–15 min). Crowds can build mid-day, so early morning or late afternoon will give you a more peaceful experience.

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.

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...

Place amazing, view outstanding. Service was impeccable but I can't say the food was 100% grate. Greek salad was ok, but oil seems to be a bit bitter. Calamari were overcooked not very tender. Homemade bread very good, perfect for obergine salad , Humus yummy. Wine was good. 0rices a bit higher than in other places that are not on the same view spot as Monastery, but not too much. You should make reservations if you wanna be seated on the terrace. But keep in mind-first row seats,tables -your order should be at least 100 euro per person.

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.
