Paleokastritsa is supposedly one of three possible locations where Odysseus' boat was petrified. He washed ashore and was found by Princess Nausicaa and her handmaidens, who were washing clothes at a nearby stream. She asked her father to build him a boat so Odysseus could return to Ithaca, but Poseidon was so angered that he turned the ship to stone.
I don't know which rock was supposed to be the petrified ship. And I missed taking photos of the monastery too. So all you get are these photos. Which I thought were too pretty not to share, even if I don't have any stories for you.
