Palaiokastritsa is a village in northwestern Corfu, Greece, known for its great cliffs and nearby beaches. The monastery in Palaiokastritsa, which dates from 1225, houses a museum. The village has a land area of 48.379 km² and a population of 3,389. It is located on the west coast of Corfu just south of Angelokastro. The area is also home to several hotels, including the Akrotiri Beach Hotel and Paleo ArtNouveau Hotel, which offer stunning views of the Ionian Sea. However, a recent controversy has arisen regarding the treatment of cats at the monastery, with reports of the cats being removed or disappeared, which has sparked outrage among visitors and volunteers who had been caring for them
