The Monastery of Kipoureon is located in the peninsula of Paliki, 15 km from Lixouri. Its location is amazing, as it has been constructed on top of a rock, 90 meters above the sea. The view to the Ionian Sea and the wild coastline is magnificent, which makes it a sight worth visiting if you are in the area. The Monastery of Kipoureon was founded in the 17th century by the Archbishop of Paxi Chrysanthos Petropoulos. Its name literally means monastery of the gardens due to the several gardens the monks once cultivated to make their living. Today only one monk lives in the Monastery of Kipoureon, which welcomes visitors every day. Dedicated to the Holy Cross and the Annunciation of the Virgin, the monastery celebrates March 25th and September 14th. Inside there is a wonderful collection of ecclesiastical relics and post-Byzantine icons. The natural surrounding of the monastery is lush green and comprises pine and fir trees. From the yard, visitors can enjoy a wonderful sunset of the Ionian Sea. Enjoy!

Not much te see here. You don't really have a view at all. The buildings are nice to walk through but that's about it. Maybe you can do a small stop here if you are exhausted from driving or want to pause for 15 minutes but it's very skipable. There is also almost nothing in the whole area to do.
