On August 6th, the historic Monastery of Paleokastritsa honors the Transfiguration of the Saviour. This is perhaps the most scenic religious celebration on the island, with the monastery’s yellow walls and flowering gardens overlooking the dramatic cliffs and turquoise waters below.

Following the religious ceremonies, the local community and visitors gather for a traditional Panigiri. Paleokastritsa offers a unique atmosphere where the solemnity of the monastery meets the vibrant joy of the Greek summer. It’s an ideal time to “Discover Corfu” beyond the beaches and experience the spiritual soul of this world-famous resort.
