One of the most famous attractions in Corfu is the Paleokastritsa caves, each of them having a mystery around it.

The palace of Mon Repos was built by an English Commissioner of the Ionian Islands, Frederick Adam, in 1831. It is said that it was a gift to his beloved wife, the Corfiot Nina Palantianou, while the architect of the edifice was also an English man, Whitmore. It has large openings, of colonial style with intense Greek and neoclassical elements.

Mon Repos, after the union of the Ionian Islands with Greece was granted to King George and until 1967 remained in the royal family who used it as a summer palace. Ever since, a legal battle for its ownership began, as the royal descendants claimed it as personal property, which was ultimately rejected by the Greek courts, while granting Mon Repos to the Municipality of Corfu. Today this palace houses the Museum of Palaiopoli.

King George I gave this mansion and the estate the name with which it was established: Mon Repos which means «my rest». Mon Repos hosted the empress Elizabeth of Austria before she built the Achillion, while it is the place where, prince Philip was born who later married Elizabeth of England.

Very close to the palace, are situated the ruins of the greatest ancient temple of Corfu, while also close by, you will see the best-preserved ancient temple of the island.
