Nestled in northwestern Corfu, Paleokastritsa is one of the island's most cherished beauty spots, offering a perfect vantage point to witness the sunset. Don't miss the opportunity to admire the 17th-century monastery and its famous "Tree of Life" carving within. With historical significance intertwined in its landscape, Corfu has been suggested as the mythical island of the Phaeacians, and the bay of Palaiokastritsa as the very place where Odysseus first encountered Nausicaa.

With its golden sand and aquamarine waters, Agia Anna Beach is a unique spot to soak up the sun, swim, or snorkel. From this exotic beach, you can admire the modest church of St. Anna and the small chapel of St. Nicholaos.

The amount of churches in Lima can be overwhelming to a first-time visitor. Wherever you look, you will find beautiful religious buildings rich in both architectural detail and history, especially when walking around the city centre. To make your life easier, we have selected five churches that are well worth visiting: 1. Lima Metropolitan Cathedral (2nd picture) In the city's main square, the cathedral is not only Peru's most important catholic church but also the first one ever built, dating back to the foundation of Lima in 1535. Inside the cathedral lie the bones of the city's conquistador, Francisco Pizarro. 2. Basílica and Convent of San Francisco (1st picture). A curious fact about this church is that it was built on top of catacombs, which served as a cemetery during colonial times. A visit to its basement will surprise you with bones and skulls of around 25 thousand people. 3. Sanctuary of Saint Rose of Lima. It was erected in the exact place where Santa Rosa was born. Here, you can explore the grounds where the city's patron lived and treated the poor. 4. Basilica and Convent of San Pedro. Many consider it to be the most beautiful church in Lima. Check out its magnificent interior and see for yourself. 5. Parroquia Santa María Reina. Its unusual oval shape is the big draw here. *Bonus: Church of La Merced. Even if you decide not to enter this one, just take your time admiring the stone carvings on its beautiful facade.
