1St. Spyridon’s Day Procession – August 11
If you only attend one religious celebration during your stay, make it this one.
The procession of Saint Spyridon’s relic through Corfu Town is one of the island’s oldest traditions, commemorating the miraculous liberation of Corfu from the Ottoman siege in 1716.
Thousands of people line the streets while Corfu’s famous philharmonic bands accompany the procession, creating one of Greece’s most impressive religious events.
Expect major traffic restrictions and arrive early if you plan to attend.
