Bochali is a small village of 900 residents located on the hill behind the city of Zakynthos. During Venetian occupation, as well as in subsequent years, it was the aristocratic neighborhood of the city and the island in general. It still retains elements from this period today. From Bochali, you can enjoy panoramic views of Zakynthos<\/strong> Town<\/strong> and the Ionian Sea. A few hundred meters from the town, on the hill’s highest point, there is the historic Castle built around 1646.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to See in Bochali<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We recommend visiting Bochali twice: once in the morning, when the sun enhances the colors of the sea and you can visit the castle and the picturesque streets around it, and once in the evening, when the sky turns pink and the city \u200b\u200blights come on. Here’s what to see in Bochali:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Panagia Chrysopigi Church<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The bell tower of the Panagia Chrysopigi<\/strong> Church<\/strong> stands alone on the Bochali square. Inside the church, the gilded iconostasis carved in wood, the icon of the Madonna and child brought here from Istanbul, and various Byzantine icons are the dominant pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Venetian Castle<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A fortress, also known as the Venetian<\/strong> Castle<\/strong> or Bochali Castle<\/strong> is located on top of the hill. Construction was completed by the Venetians in 1646, but the structure was continuously damaged by the numerous earthquakes that struck one after the other over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agia Paraskevi Church<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The history of the post-Byzantine Agia Paraskevi Church<\/strong> in \u200b\u200bBohali, which celebrates the memory of Agia Paraskevi, patron saint of the Czechs, is lost in time. The structure was fortunately spared by the catastrophic 1953 earthquake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
