Best Monastery in Greece

G	Grant Derin on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very small Monastery at the peak of Corfu’s highest mountain. Well maintained. If you have traveled up the mountain well worth a quick visit! Stunning views.
M	Marc Nicoll on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing, well worth the drive to the top, the views are amazing and the architecture is stunning inside, little shop as well for those that would like to get souvenirs and a lovely tea shop.
S	Stefano Spinella on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful monastery on the highest spot in Corfú. The view is amazing and the inside of the monastery (which is really old) show original paintings dates 13th century. Don’t forget to visit the backyard of the monastery and the cozy souvenir shop. You cand find typical local products for a reasonable price!
F	Frank Wils on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The monastery church from 1689 is a small treasure by itself. Small and dark but very intimate and a beautiful silver shrine. The location is breathtaking. The last kilometer driving to the top is challenging but worth it. So many amazing viewpoints, one almost forgets the huge antenna on top of the monastery. A Corfu Must-see!
M	Marina Petukhova on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful views, but the road is narrow and when we were riding back it was raining heavily - which made some parts of the route quite dangerous. The locals advised to go via Ipsos (which is a safer route) rather than from the other side - they say, it has a better road cover and is no too steep parts (unless you are driving a 4X car)
H	Hendrik Beenker on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I liked the place because of the stunning views not because of the not so special monastery, crappy souvenirs and a typical tourist food/drink shop (3,20 for a cup of coffee) Why the Greeks have decided to place a huge antenna on top of the monastery is beyond comprehension and frankly quite disrespectful if you would ask me. Basically the whole mountaintop is covered in antennas and wires of all kinds, with a dirty diesel generator making a constant noise. Still fun to visit though! It is a long and steep winding road with narrow passages keep that in mind when visiting it.
N	Natasha Harding on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The monastery is definitely worth a quiet walk around once reaching the top of the Pantokrator. It offers the best 360 degree views. There is a lovely little garden and fountain with a few sleeps cats and kittens. The building itself is intriguing. Donations tin by the entrance with spare wraps for women to cover shoulders if you forgot to bring a scarf.
L	Lina Grakauskaitė on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice, small monastery. Area is clean and maintained, but I would say some extra work could be done to make this place more appealing. Maybe some extra beache to sit down.
