The Paleokastritsa Monastery is dedicated to Virgin Mary. It is located on a green hill above the beach with the same name. Apart from its religious profile, the place offers stunning views over the nearby landscapes. It is a Byzantine monastery and it dates back to 1228. There is a little ecclesiastical museum on site, as well as a classic olive oil press. A little shop is also available for those who want to do some shopping. Do not overlook the cats hanging around the place either. On your way to the monastery, you will pass through a forest of olive trees.
