Monasteries & churches · Corfu · ★★★★★
The church of Corfu's patron saint, in the old town's lanes: his relics lie in a silver casket in the chapel beside the iconostasis, under the red-domed bell tower of 1620, the tallest in the Ionian Islands. Built in 1589. Free; shoulders and knees covered.
It is about 120 m from the Liston, and the Upper Square (Liston) bus stop about 220 m. Four times a year, on Palm Sunday, Holy Saturday, 11 August and the first Sunday of November, the relics are carried round the old town, and for three days around his feast on 12 December they stand at the church door; those are its busiest days. The Antivouniotissa Museum is 230 m away, and the Museum of Asian Art 190 m.
