| Dating from the different periods of occupation, Corfu�s architecture was a lovely blend of Venetian, French, and British. Late Friday evening local Greek families were out in great numbers socializing in many of the cafe bars along the Liston, and children could be seen playing in the main park square to almost midnight. Everyone was having a good time. Saturday morning before leaving Corfu we ventured into the Greek Orthodox Church of Agios Spyridon, the holiest place on the island as this church contained the silver casket of the mummified body of the island�s patron saint Spyridon. While in the church pilgrims came to receive healing powers from this saint, and it was interesting to observe the rituals involved. |
