Entrance to the Paleokastritsa Monastery

09 May 2012 277
The Paleokastritsa Monastery in Corfu, Greece is dedicated to Panagia (Virgin Mary) of Paleokastritsa. It is a Byzantine Monastery that dates from 1228, however most of the surving structures date from the 18th Century. It was mobbed with tourists when we went and the highlight, sadly, was watching the large buses attempt to manouver in the tiny parking lot. AIMG_4096

Panagia Paraportiani (Explored)

Panagia Paraportiani in Mykonos, Greece. "The special thing about this church is that it actually consists of five small churches that were built one on top or next to the other. The church of Agios Efstathios is the centre of this complex, surrounded by the churches of Agios Anargyros, Agios Sozon and Agia Anastasia. On top of these four churches, there is the church of Virgin Mary, which looks like a dome." www.greeka.com/cyclades/mykonos/mykonos-churches/panagia-... AIMG_3668
