1Paleokastritsa Monastery
We will visit the Virgin Mary monastery. Although founded in the 13th century, there is little remaining today that is more than 200 years old. However, the modern building inside is an excellent example of Greek monastic architecture, featuring an arched inner courtyard and a small museum housing Byzantine and post-Byzantine icons. The view from the monastery is superb.
