Orthodox Corfu
Duration: Up to 8 hrsTrip Description
Corfu is, without any exaggeration, quite literally dotted with Orthodox landmarks: the small island is home to no fewer than 435 active churches and 22 monasteries. Since visiting them all would take well over a month, we have handpicked just half a dozen Christian shrines that nonetheless stand as the brightest examples of the island's religious heritage.
On this journey, you will have the unique opportunity to admire the religious architecture of Corfu, get a glimpse into the daily life of monks and nuns, venerate Holy Relics, and above all, absorb the spirit of ancient monasteries — the very cradle of modern Greek culture and monasteries that played a vital role in Greece's long struggle for freedom and independence.
