Things to do in Corfu, Ionian Islands: The Best Sacred & Religious Sites
Corfu is studded with whitewashed houses, Byzantine churches, and the remains of Venetian fortresses and Greek temples. Wander the ancient streets of the Roman village of Kassiopi or explore the central Esplanade of the eponymous Corfu Town. For a DIY spa experience, lather yourself in mineral mud on the shore of the Canal D’Amour. Legend has it that the waterfalls of Nymphes used to attract the mythological beauties of the same name, who would flock to the village to bathe in the pristine waters.

After 2 years my wife and myself are paying a return visit to the town of Agios Stefanos and whether you are on the beach or in the town it is difficult not to spot the cross on the top of the hill. Hopefully, like us, most able bodied visitors will take the trouble to go up the - admittedly steep - hill to discover the delightful ‘Little (and even by Greek standards it is little!) Agios Stefanos Church’ which is open to visitors. It also has some very interesting memorial stones outside the Church of some of the many regular visitors to this attractive town (some have been coming here for 20 years or more) who have sadly passed away. It is a poignant and special place - not one to be missed!!

Saint Spyridon Church , the miraculous and Saint of Corfu The history and the tradition of our local Church from 1456 is imminently connected with Saint Spyridon. The arrival of his holy relic from Istanbul, his staying in Corfu, the built of his church along with the establishment of five big feasts based on Him led the christians to believe that Corfu cannot exist without Him. But even our local Church owes Him a lot. Not only did He protect it during the hard times of the Venetian Occupation, but also from other foreign occupations. French, Russians, English, Italians and Germans have passed over our island, staying for different lapses of time.

Hi, The church has a lot of history behind. There are benches inside so you can sit and contemplate. Around the church are a lot of good stores where you can buy a lot of religious souvenirs.

As an orthodox myself really wanted to visit this small church as it seemed is a popular place in Corfu and it didn’t disappoint me at all. Very easy to reach , you can take a bus from Corfu town ( line no 6 ) , we were lucky as it was only 10 min away from the resort we stayed and it’s also very close to the airport as you can see all the planes landing or departing . It’s situated on a small island and painted all in white , it has a small gift shod inside and also the church it’s open for tourists that want to pray or light a candle . Really enjoyed the time spent there !
