The Monastery of Paleokastritsa
The Monastery of the Virgin Mary of Paleokastritsa is home to 8 Greek Orthodox Monks who conduct traditional masses, provide generous hospitality and offer regular tours of the grounds and museum located within.
This Byzantine Monastery dates back to 1228. However the current complex, the cells of the monks and the yard date from the 18th century. The monastery has a small ecclesiastical museum with rare Byzantine icons, holy books and other relics. Inside the monastery, there is a traditional olive oil press.
This monastery dominates the whole region. Built on top of a remote hill, it gives gorgeous view of the island and the sea.
