Paleokastritsa is located on the NW coast of Corfu, from Corfu town. The resort is hilly and nestles beneath the folds of steep verdant slopes of olive groves and citrus orchards. It is one of the most beautiful seasides of Corfu Island and considered by the locals the mythical petrified ship of Ulysses. The crystal clear waters and the surrounding caves have made the area one of the most popular sites for swimming and snorkelling. The historic monastery of Palaiokastritsa with the miraculous icon of the Virgin Mary can be seen at the top of the hill of the peninsula.

Vlacherna Monastery is an iconic point of the island and one of the most famous and photographed places on Corfu. The name Vlacherna originates from the large monastery located in Turkey. It is connected to the mainland by a pedestrian bridge with a short walk to the Monastery. The Monastery of Vlacherna is distinguished by its unusual shaped, tiled roof and intense white walls that sharply contrast with the lush landscape and the brilliant blue of the sea. In the small church of the Monastery, you will be able to worship the icon of the Virgin Mary, “Lady of Vlacherna”.
