Review & FAQ:

Set high on a hill close to the village of Ano Mera, The Monastery of Paleokastro is an 18th-century nunnery with traditional Cycladic architecture, a magnificent altar, and several handmade religious icons.

Named after the remains of the nearby medieval Gizi Castle, Paleokastro (meaning ‘old castle in Greek) is near to a quaint church dedicated to Saint Vlasis and a prehistoric tomb with an ancient menhir that rises ten feet above sea level.
