★ ★ ★ ★ ★ By far one of the best places to see in Corfu. The Monastery is absolutely breath taking - the only downside is the ridiculous amount of tourists that have no respect for the property by stepping on the beautiful flowers for their selfies.
If you can look past the tourists there is a very short trial which leads you to the cliff where the views are breathtaking. It’s absolutely worth it and there’s free parking just below! …. And lovely dogs!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This monastery is built up on a hill overlooking the ocean on all sides. There is a short road leading up to the monastery which the ambitious can walk or the not so ambitious can drive. Limited parking available at the monastery.
Entrance is free .
There are a number of vendors and hawkers surrounding the monastery but they don't hassle the visitors.
Once inside , the small grounds explode with flowers and climbing star jasmine. The colors and fragrances are intoxicating.
The museum houses old relics dating back from the hundreds of years of the monastery's existence.
Interesting and well presented , the small museum is worth a quick walk through.
Expect to spend an hour, maybe two visiting the monastery and taking pictures . The high viewpoint makes for some great ocean photo ops!
Recommended and free is a good price!?

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One of the best touristic spots of the island. I really enjoyed visiting this gorgeous monastery for one entire afternoon. It might get touristy during the morning hours. But the staff were friendly and ensure the place was kept tidied. The prayer hall was quite ancient and the seating options were appreciated. The flowers outside were so pretty like the stunning views of the surrounding waters.
The toilet facilities outside the temple weren’t that good.
But the overall serenity of the place was brilliant and I would regard this as the best.
