Discovering Corfu Greece

20/04/2025

In Corfu, Easter is more than a celebration—it’s a soul-stirring journey from silence to symphony, from candlelit hope to the joyful sound of resurrection.
May the light of the Anastasi fill your heart with peace, love, and renewal.
Kalo Pascha from all of us at Discovering Corfu Greece.

Στην Κέρκυρα, το Πάσχα δεν είναι απλώς μια γιορτή—είναι ένα ταξίδι ψυχής.
Μέσα από τους ήχους των φιλαρμονικών, τα μονοπάτια του Επιταφίου, και το φως της Ανάστασης, αναγεννιόμαστε μαζί με την άνοιξη.
Θερμές ευχές από την Discovering Corfu Greece για ένα ευλογημένο Πάσχα γεμάτο φως, συγκίνηση και παράδοση.

Purple light cloaks the island in mourning.
From the fortress to the churches, the glow is soft but heavy—
an outward sign of the sorrow that gently settles over Corfu during Holy Week.

It is Holy Monday.
Already, the island breathes differently.
Life slows down.
The air is thick with reverence, expectation, and quiet faith.

Candles flicker in homes and hearts alike.
The first hymns echo softly through the streets.
Philarmonics rehearse the aching notes of Adagio,
choirs gather to sing the laments that will soon carry us through the darkest days.

The great processions are still to come.
The Epitaphs remain bare—
but not for long.

Soon, carnations will be placed with care.
Soon, the streets will be lit by thousands of flames,
and silence will speak louder than any word ever could.

But for now, we wait.
We feel.
We prepare.

Holy Week in Corfu is not just a tradition.
It is a sacred rhythm.
A living breath.
A heartbeat that pulses through every soul,
every stone,
every shadow kissed by purple light.

This is where it begins.

"Where Heaven Meets the Ionian Sea 🌊✨
Captured from the breathtaking cliffs of Afionas, Corfu, this view reveals the hidden gems of the Ionian—the satellite islands of Northern Corfu. A place where emerald landscapes meet endless blue, kissed by the golden hues of the setting sun.

Did you know? Afionas is one of Corfu’s oldest villages, offering panoramic views that have remained untouched for centuries. A secret spot where nature whispers stories of ancient mariners and mythical gods.

📍 The Monastery of Platytera in Corfu stands as a solemn guardian of Greece’s history. Built between 1741 and 1743, this historic site witnessed turbulent times, surviving destruction during the British bombardment of 1798. It is the final resting place of Ioannis Kapodistrias, the first Governor of Greece and a key figure in the nation’s modern history. A timeless testament to Corfu’s enduring spirit, where faith, heritage, and history converge. A must-visit for anyone exploring the island’s rich cultural tapestry.
