Individual tour of the Holy Places of Corfu Island

Journey to shrines, filled with spiritual meaning and history

I invite you on a unique pilgrimage to the most revered shrines of the island of Corfu. This is not just an excursion, but a spiritual touch to Orthodox shrines, an opportunity to learn about the lives of saints, the history of churches and traditions that are passed down from generation to generation.

Over the years, I have developed an author’s program based on personal experience, blessings from the clergy and reliable sources. During the tour, I respectfully and lovingly convey the information I have collected for many years so that each visit will be special and memorable for life.

? What goes into the route:

1. Church of St. Spyridon - the heavenly patron of Corfu

The main shrine of the island, where the incorruptible relics of St. Spyridon of Trimifunt lie.You will learn the history of the temple, the miracles of the saint and you can touch his relics.

2. The Church of St. Nicholas, where the first president of Greece was baptized

In this temple, near the temple of Spiridon, was baptized John Capodistrias, the first president of free Greece. Here are stored particles of the relics of St. Nicholas and a fragment of the Life-Creating Cross.

Saint Theodora is the patroness of icons and one of the most revered saints in Corfu. Her relics rest in the cathedral, and you will hear the amazing story of her feat in defense of Orthodoxy.
