Pilgrimage to the Relics of the Saints
Duration: Up to 4 hrsTrip Description
The role of Orthodox Christianity in the cultural life of modern Greece and in the forging of the country as an independent state can hardly be overstated. Its influence is felt most powerfully in the strongholds of the Christian faith — and Corfu, with its abundance of Orthodox shrines, is undoubtedly one of them.
This tour will take you to the oldest, the most beautiful, the largest, the most unusual, and the most significant — both architecturally and historically — churches and monasteries of Corfu, within whose walls priceless relics have been treasured for centuries, including the relics of saints and miracle-working icons.
