The Monastery of Paleokastritsa
Situated on the peak of the hill
Paleokastritsa, a building of the 18th-19th
century, it is an excellent sample of the
Greek monasterial architecture.
Luxurious and picturesque, its paved yard
is full of flowers and arches. A small
museum of byzantine icons is sheltered
by the monastery.
The rock situated opposite the entrance of
the Monastery conveys us to two myths.
The first one mentions that the rock is the
ship of Ulysses which was turned into
stone and the second myth mentions that
the specific rock was the ship of pirates
who wanted to loot the monastery, which
was turned into stone after a plea by the
abbot.

Angelokastro
The fortress of the first Despot of Epirus, Michael Angelo.
It is situated on the Northwest coasts of the island, after we pass by
the villages of Lakones and Krini. We already have the first view of
Angelokastro from Paleokastritsa.
Its position is unapproachable. The view which the fortress offers you
is breathtaking. On its peak we find the chapel of the Archangels, and
the sanctuary of Saint Kyriaki, within a cave in the North-Western
walls, is really worthy of the visitor/s attention.
