Corfu by Maria Coulson



Church Bells


On a green hill above the beach of Paleokastritsa, on the north western side of Corfu, there is a large Monastery dedicated to Virgin Mary (Panagia in Greek). This monastery dominates the whole region and it offers a breathtaking view of the island and the sea below. The Paleokastritsa Monastery is believed to have been founded in the early 13th century and together with the Achillion Palace is amongst the best - known places of Corfu. According to local legend it was built in 1228, however unfortunately today little remains of the original buildings.

Proceeds from the sale of this photograph goes to help orphaned and abandoned children in Colombia South America.
