How is the cruise port in Corfu? Cruise port of Kerkyra (Corfu) Souvenirs. What to bring from a gift

To the center of the city near the mooring of the skin pivgodini, you can go by a no-cost bus. Zupinka was stealing at the fort. Virishili, otzhe, you need to go. Entry 6 euros, students and pensioners (65+) three euros. There is such an orientation: right-handed walk - to the church, to the square, right - the path to the lighthouse to the top, left-handed - to the beach, there is also a yacht club and a cafe. There is no elevator to the lighthouse, but we wanted to go.

The cafe has internet. And there is the beach! Then we walked around the old place, a beautiful place.

Satisfied, they turned back, seeing the whole day!

Kerkyra - two fortresses and a place between them

An offensive tooth at our cruise on the island of Corfu. Under the hour of preparation, two options were divided. A trip to the beaches of Paleokastritsa or a walk in Kerkyra with a view of both forts. Svіtanok I zustriv on the upper deck, admiring the views of the place, with caviar in the hands. Looking around at the ancient monuments of the place from the very top of our ship, I have already memorized the landmarks with which we happen to collapse in the place...

The plan of our route along Kerkyra buv is simple and remarkable. On the back is a new fort Neo Fiorio, then a walk around the place to the old fort of Palais Fiorio. And on the way back go to the Church of St. Spyridon (Bios Spirydhon).

Apparently from the ship at the warehouse. Twenty meters away from the gangway there is already a shuttle bus, where the passengers of both ships sit. Three hvilin їdemo to the port terminal, we pass it through and through for thirty meters the bus zipper. It is necessary to hang the Old Town sign on the bus. We heal by the water. I don’t remember exactly the price of food for two euros. Ten hvilin їzdi without teeth and mi є at the very center of the old place. You can already see the new fortress miraculously, so you won't miss it. At the heart of the New Fortress are two large-scale bastions, which can be admired at the bіk place and in the depths of the island. Between the bastions and walls in the middle of the castle, a lot of passages and corridors were laid.

We went around the fortress hvilin for forty, well, maybe for a year. Moreover, vzdovzh i across. See miracles!

Vіdpochivshi, go down the narrow streets to the old place. We happen to go through yoga mayzhe all ... through and through. Let's go. Sounds of music from Sirtaki, what more hope for everything, what happens, the Greek way. It's amazing that at the same time, the street cafes are practically backfilled. Moreover, they have a lot of tourists less, less than the tourists of bagmen. It seems that it is happening in such a way that nothing is practiced in Greece. Zvichayno, there will be a crisis ... with such bajannyam pratsyuvati.

The old fort was fortified with surpluses, the successors of which, in the words of archaeologists, can be traced back to the early antique Greece of the 7th-8th centuries. However, at the same time, the fort itself was built by the Venetians in 1550-1559, restoring for this wall, which the Byzantines lost their letters. Likewise, the Contra-Fossa canal was virito, which in time became a place of rich self-destruction. The old fortress was more worthy. Entrust the wonderful lagoon with white yachts and green waters. Old harmonica, the sound of cicadas, evil year-old on the veg.

Zі stіn forteї bachimo kіlka mіsts adjuncts for bathing. You can see all the place, the new fortress... and our boat. Forces step by step leave us, and with great satisfaction we plop down at the cafe on Liston Street.

Street Liston is considered one of the most famous in Kerkyra, de in the past the right to walk was less than representatives of aristocratic families. Buv okremy arkush іz timi, to whom it was allowed - the name of the street was the star. Pіznіshe tse right went to the nebutt. If the French were panting on the island for a short period, then the street was duly rebuilt and today there are many shops and taverns planted here, so Liston is rightfully considered one of the best streets of Kerkiri for my walks.

Vzagali, I want to tell them who will be in the next place. Here everything is already clear and no special preparation is needed. Razberates on mistsi.

Rest assured, we went to the church of St. Spyridon. Here I had a lot of trouble - the batteries in the photo and video cameras were discharged overnight. The axle is such a wonder.

Saint Spirdon is the patron saint of the island of Corfu. On this occasion, a beautiful church was honored, at the walls of which a silver sarcophagus with the relics of the saint is sacredly guarded. Shoroku on the day of the holy day of the Great Day, the relics of the saint are carried through the streets of the city, and the baggers, following the tradition, hang red linens from windows. The love of the Corfuans before his patron and patron is obvious: the largest man on the island is Spiridon.

Well, from the vikonan program. Now you can look like souvenir shops, such as here you can, invisibly, or drink beer in numerous cafes.

Pishki went back to the port. This was a great pardon ... in such a speck. Khvilin thirty walks ... deyakі piquant mіstsya rubbed until black. And now I signed on the chain, putting my food a hundred times, on the yak I didn’t know the evidence.

I took a walk, and bathed, Skoda did not go to the island

At Kerkira, the mooring is just outside the center of the city. On board, there was a transfer for 8 euros and a sightseeing tour for 40, but we decided to take a walk on our own. I did not mess up. So go to the center hvilin 20, the place is nicer, cleaner.

I don’t mind, but they knew Faliraki beach, I read about it when preparing for the cruise. Formerly, they swam at the same cruise. The water is clear! The truth is 20-22 degrees, no more. The people were not rich.

Water procedures awakened the appetite. At the search for cafes with democratic prices, the Mayzha turned so inconspicuously to the pier. Then let's go to the ship! They drank, it got sick, they marveled from the deck, how could they all get away. I lost on the ship. They sunbathed the pool.

Knowing that they turned around in the evening on excursions around the island, they spluttered with dappled beauties in such a way that they fooled me, that they didn’t go with them. The tour cost about 60 euros, I don't remember exactly.

The beach and the sea are the best for all praises

We didn’t go anywhere near Corfu, we just wanted to lie down on the beach.

Zіyshovshi on the shore, went to the nearest beach, swam by the sea. The beach and the sea are the best for all praises. Vijjati did not want to.

The route is circular, so if you don’t plan to go back, then the ticket at the return ticket needs to be brought back. You can buy from the water, but it will be more expensive. On the request "Nashkіlki more expensive?" a man from a kiosk lowering his shoulders.

At the kiosk, we clarified the roztashuvannya zupinki bus 1A, scho ishov at Kanoni. Vaughn appeared 100 meters ahead.
We went to the zupinka, after the layout, the bus schoyno pishov, and the next. after 20 minutes. Ale here raptom for the whilina pіd'їzhdzhaє. Appears zapiznyuvavsya. Khati approximately 15 khvilin.

Wiishli got off the bus and walked down the stitch. On the cob of the path, a dog was following us, like a big one in front, showing us the right path. The whole hour she was zupinyalas and turned around on our bik.

The Trochs of Dovkol walked and snorkeled on the island. We go to chovnyar, we buy tickets (2.5 euros for 1 person). Ask, if we'll have a drink? Vіdpovidaє, scho for khvilina, go get out with that chauvin, sit down.

Chovnyar escorted us and said that the tide is for the summer. This hour is too rich, enough 10 credits for everything about everything. But we didn’t have a choice, we had a chance to sit on the island of pivgodini. We went up to the church of the XII century.

They spilled back and sent a troch forward along the shore. From the monastery to the center of Kerkyri came pishki. According to the map, walk about 5 km, but we can’t find easy paths, we’ve won more, as we can walk more. That one had plans to marvel at the Mon Repos garden along the way.

Here, obviously, we were crazy. All the same, it was necessary to take a bus to the harbor, and then pishki. Saved for an hour, those little ones blew, it’s more, that the gardeners of Mon Repo didn’t succumb to me.

The only thing that garnered was the view of the sea from the terrace of the garden.

Zagalom, up to the ear of the harbor, where you can find a windmill and travel for 1.5 years (with a safe call to the garden of Mon Repos).

The starting point of our sightseeing was the Stara Fortress chi Palio Frurio near Kerkiri. In the middle of the millennium, we went to the harbor with a pishohidny promenade. We went to the territory of the fort. Entry - 4 euros for 1 person.

We went out of the fort and went near the bik vulitsa and Liston square. She went to the Palace of Saints George and Michael. Farther they went forward along the bridle of the shore and turned into my beloved little streets, which are not to be visited by the number of touristic nations.

Ale all the little streets will always lead to the main tourist "stitches" - the pishohidny promenade with numerous shops. On the way we went to the New Fortress. Vaughn maє kіlka name. Sometimes they call St. Mark's Fortress or the Sea Fortress. Entrance 3 euros for 1 person.

I then turned back to the ship. It was close to 16:00 on the anniversary.

You can look at a detailed photo call about our walk on the island of Corfu.

One of my well-known mantras said this about Kerkyra: This is the only place in Europe, where you feel like at home. Surely, in our skin, we are in love far away from the fatherland, in a way you want to turn around, but Kerkyra is really so living, so warmly you open your arms, that you can see the right controversy from this quiet and welcoming place. The heart of Kerkiri is the temple of St. Spyridon Trimіfuntsky and the church of the Most Holy Theotokos Spiliotisi, where the relics of the holy queen Theodori, the icon venerator, are saved. Good people, loved by the Russian people, the saints protect Kerkyra, the calm, wise bagmen and guests.

The layout of the Igumenitsa ferments - Corfu is changing (about 10 ferries per day), fallow due to the rock, contact us for this.

Cost of travel 11 EUR per person 40–45 EUR (including the cost of travel of a passenger and the transport of a car), even if by car.

Umovni districts. Description

Corfu is a small island (65 km in the valley, 33 km), if you want to take yoga by car in the central part from the entrance to the exit (from Paleokastritsa to Kerkiri), then the route is no more than a pivgodini. Prote Island is divided into a sprinkling of tourist areas. Which one of them to choose, to lay down, first for everything, depending on if you choose to pay and what you will pay for it. Options:

1. Settle in Kerkira (the capital of the island) or in the її outskirts (Kanoni, Perama).
   This option is suitable for lovers of mishkogo, cultural vіdpochinku, shopping and night life. You can bathe on the Russian beaches, yak, obviously, sacrifice the beauty of the strong, but all the same pick up a lot of water. At the city, the city of ancient memorials, there is a long embankment for walks, with which you can admire the old fortress, that bay with a mile. Uzdovzh embankment roztashovani cafes and taverns. Є stink, singing rich, and in the center of the city. There is a bus station near the city, with which buses run from all the distant villages of Corfu. You can choose a day to spend yoga on a silsky beach. The variability of a room in a 3* hotel for two in the middle season (black, spring) will be approximately 50-60 EUR (with a discount), and in the season the prices go up to 80-100 EUR, before you know the living in limes and sickles in the center problematic, the great one will drink. One of the most expensive areas is Kanoni. It is explained why we will specialize the order for the airport and not far from the center. Tourists who have settled there can watch today how they fly to the island and watch the flights, it is especially beautiful in the evening. It is recommended to inquire about booking rooms or apartments earlier. Obov'yazkovo reverify the presence of the air conditioner. And yet, I would like to settle down here near the village of the sea: you can always live near the place, and live better in nature. And one more recommendation: take into account that the city has a port that can receive a lot of ferries today. Hotels in the port area are cheap, lower, for example, near the Old Town, but it’s loud and crowded there.
   
2. Choose a hotel on the coast and stay in the polished greenery near the beach. This option is the most logical. However, at any point in front of you, there is a choice to save. The price for a hotel is to lie down depending on which boat of Corfu wines you know.
   The most popular - pivnіchno-shіdne uzberezhzhya. Here itself (Guv'ya, Dasya, Messongі, Benitses) there are great hotels, in which season up to 1000 people can live, a lot of villas and private apartments. One of the most beautiful places of the pivnichno-skhidny uzberezhzhya is the village of Barbati. There is a place with a beautiful beach and garnimy taverns, but not too far from Corfu. If you don’t settle here, then the raja would like to visit once, vikupatisya or vipiti kavi. All villages are connected with the city by bus lines, you can also transfer by taxi, even if it is more expensive.
   
3. Pivnich - Roda, Acharavi, Sidari - are famous for their sandy beaches with warm water and proximity to the famous Canal De Amor (Channel of the Dead). Canal, fiyno, tsikaviy, ale, like on me, swim more often on the beaches of the western and safe shores. Prices for accommodation in Corfu pivnich are approximately 10-15 EUR lower, lower near Kerkyra.
   
4. Pivnіchno-zahіdna part of the island - tse Paleokastritsa and navkolishnі villages. Even more popular, more touristy place.
   Paleokastritsa is literally drowning in greenery. The sea here has a lower blue-turquoise color, the water warms up for a long time or less until the other half of the lime becomes a comfortable temperature (+25 degrees). Tourists are hot, what is special - payment for the beauty of beaches and bays. Near the center of Paleokastritsa, on the hillock, there is a man-made monastery of the Mother of God of Paleokastritsa with two miraculous icons. From this shore, you can clearly see the skeleton, which is called the Ship of Odysseus (from far away, a ship with a high stern was caught). Near Paleokastritsa there is a small port, from which small coastal bays ply the coves (the ticket costs 7 EUR). On the cob of the sickle there is a theatrical and musical show on the water - Varkarola (Odyssey's arrival on the island). As if at this hour you will be in Corfu, curl up obo'yazkovo before the show; For example, in the evening there will be a great fireworks.
   Not far from Paleokastritsa there is Angelokastro (fortress of Angels) - a long-standing fortification built, as it used to be a strategic observation point for the Corfians. Її special atmosphere (fortress nibi shiryaє over gloomy) will be remembered for a long time by everyone who sees it. Paleokastritsa has budget apartments and hotels, and luxury hotels, for whatever taste and vibe. Apartments in the high season can be rented for 50-60 EUR, which is 20 EUR lower, lower living near the city in the same period.
5. Ermones, Glyfada and Agios Gordis - the little villages on the zahodnomu and pivdenno-zahіdnomu uzberezhzhі Corfu - breathtaking beaches from the faceless coastal cafes and children's attractions.
   View of Ermones is not far from Pelekas - the village, near the guard post of Kaiser. You can clearly see the central part of the island, Kerkyra and the city port. Prices, in general, can be called democratic, the same as in Paleokastritsa. Glyfada is more expensive. Ale and in Hermones, for example, is an expensive hotel with a modern elevator, on which you can go down from the rooms to the public area and the beach.
   
6. Kavos is the most famous point of Corfu. The beaches here are pishchani and zmishani, gently sloping. Evenings on Kavos are loud and fun, the place of post-party parties. Quiet time for a pivdniku on pivdnі - Levkіmi ta Agios Georgios.
   The downside is that it is a long way to get to the center of the city by car, more than a year. Ale and prices for living at a lower level. You can rent a room near the middle of the red for 20 EUR.
   

Yaki prices for repairs

As we have already said, prices for living and renting cars are constantly updated from season to season. Three seasons can be seen on the island:

1. high (linden, sickle),
2. middle (cherry, veresen),
3. low (grass, yellow).

Hotels and apartments

During the high season, the price of apartments or rooms for two at the hotel is not lower than 3* cost per 60 EUR (often the price also includes a discount). Due to the increase in air quality, the hotel will sharply increase the price (up to 100 EUR), if you rent a villa for a fee, get ready to pay 150-200 EUR per day.

In the middle season, the minimum price for the same accommodation is about 10 EUR and becomes close to 50 EUR per room.

In the low season, the minimum price per room starts from 35–40 EUR for a double room from a hotel equal to at least 3*.

I recommend vinayamati apartments. As a rule, the stench is good and quiet, lower hotel. You can take an apartment with a kitchen, for a drink, if you want to buy, for example, fresh ribi at the market and cook it with your favorite recipes. Before the speech, spice miracles in Corfu. If you see a child, then it is better to take a studio or apartment with a kitchen: not all hotels can give a child's menu. If you choose a hotel, then 3 * is a good and not expensive option, often food is already included in the accommodation.

Car rental

The same can be said about renting cars. Retail varies by 10–20 EUR in fallow season. While in black you can find a good car with a manual gearbox for 40 EUR per day, then in sickle you can drink a lot, and that car itself will cost you 60 EUR per day, and you will have to worry about renting a long time.

Besides, don’t forget that it’s hard to drive in Corfu: the roads are winding and narrow, tourists often drive unfairly, and often don’t follow the rules, destroying the Swedish regime. I don’t recommend traveling at night in the region: there are many roads in the mountains that cannot be illuminated, you risk, at least, getting lost. Firstly, obov'yazkovo check the correctness of the air conditioner in the car.

Taxi

Prices for taxis during the season should not be late. Taxi to Corfu can be called an expensive transport. For example, the fare "airport-Paleokastritsa" costs 40 EUR. Sometimes, through the daily buses (the stink of walking a few times a day), you can get a taxi. If you want to spare, virushayu look at the old reminders or swim on the beaches in the other part of the island, I can give you the following option: try to know for yourself companions and add a large sum of money to pay for a taxi with you.

zha that excursion

You can’t wait for that excursion for a year, no matter what season you came. I live in the city, it’s better, for example, at good rural taverns, which are more expensive by 10–15 EUR.

It’s important to call excursions cheap (the simplest ones start at 35–40 EUR), so I’d rather take international rights with me, rent a car and rent a car, and that’s where you really want to, and not if you want to show it to groups. I want to have a sightseeing tour of the place for a deep understanding - to finish the cicava that is rich.

Tip:

What are the prices for repairs?

Accommodation

At the city, there are hotels in the city, and the axis lived on the coast, the rent is not allowed. The city rents rooms in hotels, apartments (for example, in the Kanoni area, an expensive option), and visit the villa.

Vartist lived in Kerkir to lie down for a month. І presence of life, before speech, also. Still, it’s not a millionaire place, and hotels and apartments in lindens and serpni are repackaged by tourists from the capital. In the low season (winter, birch, spring, autumn), the average price of a room is about 40 EUR (standard room for two, including some extras). In the middle season - close to 50-60 EUR, and in the high season the next option is to know the cost of living up to 80 EUR. The found area, as I already wrote, is Portovy, the most expensive one is Kanoni.

eating

If you eat in Moscow taverns, then you need to see less than 25-30 EUR per day per person, the price of a standard meal (salad, hot drink) is about 15 EUR (the cheapest option).

Moving by mist

Getting around Kerkyra is best by bus. The fare for a new one in the boundaries of the place will cost about 1.5 EUR.

Tip:

Variety of accommodation, accommodation, transport and other

Currency: Euro, € US dollar, $ Russian ruble, rub

Ignorant in the small regions of Corfu, there is something to marvel at. I recommend obov'yazkovo to see the two main cathedrals of Kerkyri: the Church of St. One of the oldest churches in Corfu is the temple of the teachings of the Apostle Paul - Jason that Sosipater.

The best point of the island is Mount Pantokrator. Look at the pidmou unforgettable! Buses do not go there, but you can take a taxi, or else carefully go to rent a car. The path is not safe, serpentine.

The symbol of Corfu is Mishiniy Ostrіv and Blachernae Monastery on Kanoni. In the same place there is a miraculous vidovy maidanchik; From the Museum of the Palace of the Empress Sisi near Gastury, the Maritime Museum near Benitses, the Museum of Asian Art near Kerkyra. Obov'yazkovo see the monastery of the Holy Mother of God Kasopіtri near Figareto and the monastery of the Holy Mother of God Paleokastritsa.

Progulyankovi mіstsya Kerkіri - tse street Liston and park Mon Repos, People's garden. Near Corfu (there are hundreds of meters in total) there is the island of Vidos, where you can add on small boats.

Near Kerkyra itself, near the center, you can see the museum-apartment of a local citizen, Casa Parlante. Archaeological and historical monument of Kerkiri - Stara Fortetsya.

In the center of the place, especially if you have children, you can ride a train (6 EUR).

Museums on the islands are not expensive, before that you can guess and have a meal at the days of costless holidays. For this, look at the information on the websites of the museums of Corfu (references to deeds from them will be given below). Entrance at the church and the monastery, sensible, without cost, but like a chinny monastery, you can close the singing hour for prayer. At Paleokastritsa, for example, the monastery is closed from 13.00 to 15.00.

Top 5

Beaches. Yaki better

There are a lot of beaches on the island. Є miskі, є silski - beautiful and zruchnіshi. Passed skrіz bezkoshtovny. You can rent a sunbed and a parasol for the whole day (the cost of such a set is 5-8 EUR). Vіm, if you want to put on a towel (I always work only like this), you can’t fence anything. If you like to swim in the evening and you will come to the beach after 16.00, you can rent a sunbed and don’t ask for anything for everything.

Most of the beaches are equipped with toilets and toilets, for a little wine there are few Russians. On the island, near the western part, there is a fresh lake. It’s not recommended to swim there, it’s not recommended to swim there, because snakes trap about in fresh water.

Western coast

The beaches of the Paleokastritsa bay are pebbles, food and fish. Є have sunbeds and parasols, and є wild, for example, Rovinya, Limnі and Paradise. You can get there by a regular taxi, which will take you from the main bay of Paleokastritsa and run all over the beaches of this region.

Wonderful beaches of the western coast - Ermones, Glyfada, Agios Gordios. Glyfada has a lot of people, water attractions and other activities. Here is a dry squeak, a whiff of wind, a gentle, scarlet deep entrance, a line to the horizon. The same can be said about Agios Gordios. Ermones is a quiet bay, on the tops of which there are hotels and apartments.

Skhidne save

On the lower part of the island, the sea is a little warmer: on the other side, cover it with the mainland. Messongi, Agios Ioannis, Benitses, Dasya, Guv'ya, Barbati I raju choose for water repair in the middle season, so that the water is warmed up here by the red and grass by the grass. There are a lot of cafes, bars, restaurants, shops, a boisterous night life, a lot of sightseeing places on a similar shore. The most famous and most beautiful of all beaches is Barbaty. There are also a lot of attractions here, there is a coastal zone, planted with trees, where it is convenient to take a bath after bathing.

Pivnichne uzberezhzhya

On the peninsula of the island there are Roda, Acharava and Sidari, here most often there are groves of woods and sandy-pebble beaches. Little children bathe at Rodi's place - the floorings here are breezy. Cidari є tsikave is a tourist place, popular with young people, as the De Amor Canal (Kohanna Canal) is called. Vіn є by a water channel between two chimeric skelesty shores of a food color, turned by water. Swimming in the canal itself is not safe, and next to it are two small beaches.

Pivdenne uzberizhzhya

As we have already said, the day of Corfu (Kavosu district) is more appropriate for young people. The English are the best there. Beaches, food and zmishani, amusement rides, a lot of cafes and bars.

In any small village of Corfu, you can know the ancient churches, and the skin of them will have its own subtle history. It is simply impossible to override them. I will name naivіdomіshi.

Temple of St. Spyridon

Corfu is called the island of St. Spyridon of Trimifuntsky, whose relics are at the very center of Kerkiri. For the sake of life, the saint was a shepherd, appreciating the special hospitality of the merciful. Vіdomy vіn і tim, scho at the First Ecumenical Council, joining the magician with the heretic Arієm. The words of St. Spyridon appeared on the floor of the wise and penetrating, which they suddenly understood: through him the Lord himself turned to people.

The relics of the saint are taken from a special reliquary, which is used for two days - a loan for 2 years after the service (from 11 to 13) and in the evening from about 16 years. The relics of St. Spyridon are imperishable, weigh 80 kilograms and the stench is warm. Taking the saints at the special oxamite captsi, as if they wear it for an hour - this is evidence that the saint himself comes to the aid of the people of Kerkyra (and no less) in their needs.

Metropolises

This is the head cathedral of Kerkyra, consecrations in honor of the icon of the Most Holy Theotokos Spiliotis (Pecherna), St. Blaise of Sebastia and Blessed Theodory. The Righteous Empress Theodora commemorated the veneration of icons and placed it sacred in honor of the priesthood - Urochistist Orthodoxy (commemorated at the first week of Great Lent).

Temple of Jason and Sosipatra

The oldest Christian church in Corfu is dedicated to the teachings of the Apostle Paul, St. Jason and Sosipater (XII century), who brought the Christian faith to the island. This temple is the most important Byzantine memorial.

Monastery of the Holy Mother of God Kasopіtri

To be found in the area of ​​Kanoni (place of Figareto). In the monastery, the miraculous icon of the Most Holy Theotokos Kassopotry, the icon with the relics of St. Parthenius of Lampsakiy (brought by the rector of the monastery from Athos), in the life of someone who is a story about those, like a vein of a woman, a part of a saint, a baga. Є speeches, yaks belonged to Saint Paisios Svyatogorts.

Monastery of Our Lady Paleokastritsa

One of the most famous monasteries beyond the borders of Kerkiri is the monastery of the Holy Mother of God Paleokastritsa. Monastir dyuchy, human, open from early in the morning until evening, but from 13.00 to 15.00 the doors of the monastery are being repaired - you can pray alone.

The monastery has two miraculous icons of the Holy Mother of God Paleokastritsa and the icon of the Life-Giving Dzherelo. If you want to see the monastery without the noise, stay here in silence, rajah come after 15.00, if the main tourist groups are already breaking up.

Mrs Angeliv

On the peninsula of the island, not far from the village of Levkimi, there is a monastery of the Holy Mother of God. Mrs Angeliv. An old woman Anastasia lived and lived near this monastery for 46 years (died 1979).

During the period of unfair persecution, mother Anastasia was hung from the monastic cell, and then she knew a porch near the great hollow of the olive tree (the chicks of the olives chimerically intertwined and made a space, in which it is important to accommodate a person), there she lived and prayed to reach her didn't stick around. In the presence of hot prayers, the tree shone at night, now the hollow is called holy.

Museums. Yaki varto see

Sisi Palace (Akhilyon)

One of the most important museums on the island of Corfu is located near the small town of Gasturi on the island's main entrance. This royal residence, palace, wakes up in the 19th century at the behest of the Austrian Empress Elizabeth (at home yak Sisi). Architectural and sculptural, palace, no doubt, the pearl of Corfu.

In addition, you will know here a lot of exhibits, for example, the titles of the phone Sisi, which works on Morse code. Entry ticket costs 7 EUR.

Casa Parlante

The Casa Parlante Museum of Refinishing near the center of Kerkyri, not far from the Church of St. Spyridon, and a museum-apartment - the house of a possible city dweller. Exhibits in the museum of reference, mannequins that collapse, family relics, paintings and furniture. At the museum

Stara Fortress

This is one of the most important disputes of the Byzantine and Venetian period in Corfu. The fort was built on a natural rock from two peaks. Budіvnytstvo can be seen until the ear of the 6th century AD. The Venetians recognized it and began to victorious as the military base of the Adriatic and the center of the trade routes of the entire Mediterranean. On the territory there is a church in the Dorian style of St. George, the patron saint of warriors.

Mon Repos

Near Kerkyr itself, in the district of Garitsa, there is a quiet Mon Repos park (at the crossroads - Mіy vіdpochinok), near the center of it is the palace of the Dukes of Edinburz. The atmosphere there is simple and aristocratic. On the territory of the park there are ancient Byzantine and middle-aged ruins, the ruins of an ancient temple and a fountain, the victories of Venetian traditions. Royal Sims celebrated Mon Repos as a summer residence until 1967, when the Greek Republic was voted. In 2002, the ex-king sued the Greek state, which took away compensation from the expansion of 1% of the palace, and Mon Repos lost its money from the Greek state.

Now the palace is a reminder of the place, where the exhibits, portraits, special speeches, and objects were taken care of by the bagmen. On the other version, a small archaeological exposition was arranged, and an hour of excavations on the island was chosen. Entrance to the park without cost, at the palaces - 3 EUR.

Spianade

The largest area in the Balkans. Located in the very center of Corfu, on the one side between Liston, on the other side - the Old Fortress. From the pivnіchny side there is the Cathedral of St. Michael and St. George, the Museum of Asian Art, the People's Garden.

From the front side, a pop-up maidanchik has been installed, on which concerts and musical shows are played, as well as a rotunda in the Romanesque style. Vzdovzh Spianadi love to walk and mіstsevі inhabitants and tourists.

People's Garden (Bosqueto)

This mini-park is located in front of the Old Fortress. There, a sprinkling of sculptures, fountains, a place for repair, benches, and magnolia blossoms were installed.

Sounds like a wonderful edge view of the port, instructed by a childish maidan. Odrazu behind the park is a small church.

Tourist streets

Nayvidomisha and, perhaps, the most beautiful Kerkiri street - Liston. It is located in the center of the city, until the small corfian lanes run together.

Being Liston stretched 7 years on the cob of the XIX century on the parisian street of Rivoli. Earlier, the right to walk was less than members of aristocratic families. For one version, naming Liston resembles the English list (list), in which the names of these happy aristocrats were taken.

From one side of Liston, two dovgі budinki with high arches are formed on the first side. Near this gallery of arches, the cafes ruled their verandahs. Cі arches, scho to fly, are vvazhayutsya by the symbol of Liston and vіdpovіdat for yogo architectural look. At the evening hour, Liston is illuminated by arched lights and looks even warmer and more romantic. Opposite the galleries there is a cricket field where sports games and magic are held. Liston is a favorite place of city dwellers and tourists, who like to drink a cup of walnut caviar near the center of the place. Vіd Liston to the temple of St. Spyridon Trimіfuntskogo less than 2 hvilini walk.

Nearby islands

Corfu is a cordon island. Vіn mає sea spoluchennya z mainland (port Igumenitsa), zvіdki can be dіstatisya italіyskogo Bari (8 years on the night liner), as well as Venice, Anconi and Brindіzі.

From some points of protection, with an indefatigable eye, you can see the sovereign country of Albania, as well as enter before sightseeing tours. Two independent islands - Paxos and Antipaxos - are included in the traditional one-day cruise, which is more appropriate for mandrivers. These are the two smallest islands of the Ionian archipelago (on Antipaxos, for example, only 100 people live) for their beauty and uniqueness, Corfu itself does not compromise. You can go on a cruise from the port of Kerkyri, on the contrary, some kind of roztashovanny mini-offices of travel agencies, like selling tickets from other direct flights.

Do not forget about the island of Vidos and Mishiniy Ostrіv - the stench is known for just a few meters from Corfu. You can get to them on tourist boats (cost 2.5 EUR). Previously, Vidos was connected with Corfu by an underground tunnel and was of great strategic importance, at the same time there is a monument to the Serbian soldiers. Bear Island is a symbol of Corfu and the first, so that tourists can run from the windows of the illuminator, leading to Kerkiri.

On Mishinoy Ostrov, there used to be a sleeping monastery, it was closed at the same time, then there is the Church of Mykoli the Wonderworker.

Basic memos. What to marvel at

Kerkyra has a lot of memory and reminders. Most of my day I recommend seeing three churches: St. Spyridon of Trimifuntsky, St. Nicholas the Wonderworker and Metropolis (Our Lady of Spiliotisi). All stinks are located in the center one by one.

Obov'yazkovo is necessary to see the Canons, marvel at Mishiniy Ostrіv (symbol of Kerkiri), Ushakov's harmata and Blachernae monastery.

From the museums of Asian art, Casa Parlante, Stara and Nova fortez, as a good way to reflect the mustache of history, which was seen near Kerkyra for a long time.

The other side of the garne is the park and the Mon Repos Palace, which are found in the Garitsa area. And, of course, Liston Street is another symbol of Kerkyra, you need to be sure.

As if it were a village, you can go to the islet of Vіdos by boat. About the new one, I will tell you below.

Top 5

Irrespective of its own world, Kerkyra is blessed with a rich place of reminders. First of all, it’s the place of Spyridon of Trimifuntsky, there are so many pilgrims here, like to come and ask the saint for help. We will surround churches and monasteries, near the city and museums, and theaters, and parks, and streets for walks - who cares. I respect that you are guilty of obov'yazkovo:

Beaches. Yaki better

At the borders of the place, there are a few small beaches, which, honestly, seem to sacrifice for the strength and beauty of the beaches of the countryside. Still, Kerkyra is a port city. Prote can also be taken here:

Churches and temples. Yaki varto see

Kerkyra is spovnena garnih Orthodox temples, among them є tі, scho treba v_dvidat obov'yazkovo. Entrance at all churches and monasteries is cost-free, sound at the summer period of stink from 07:00 to 20:00 (21:00). Khustki for women and girls are neobov'yazkovі, but it's nasty to enter the church at the mini-beds, shorts and splendid shoulders. Otzhe, I raju zvernuti respect for:

• Church of St. Spyridon of Trimifuntsky (Saint Spyridon church). On the icons of the saint, they often depict a small crown, which is squeezed in the valley, a shard for a riddle about those, like at the First Ecumenical Council of the Vіn dovіv the Eidnist of the Holy Trinity and zmusiv arіan vіdmovitysya vіd svogo zhevchennya. Yogo's successor - the priest Ariya - did not recognize the divine likeness and peace of the people of Christ and said that Christ is simply the greatest vitvir of God. Ariya, having lured rich people to his falsehood, and no one was able to judge yoga and judge. Todі Kostyantin the Great (the ruler of the Byzantine Empire) elected the Ecumenical Council, so that the wisest and most authoritative clergymen and theologians tidy up the heretic and chime in on the expansion of the heresy. Evlogii, the Greek sage, came to the Cathedral, a kind of supporter of Ariya. Evlogiy appearing inconspicuously, subtly at rhetoric and sophistry, and victorious in all respects to yoma verbal acceptance, slandering the orthodox faith. Saint Spіridon, who took part in the Ecumenical Council, asking for a word to remind Eulogia, but the priests hesitated: everyone knew that he could not have theological enlightenment, from the childhood of Saint Spіridon was a shepherd. If you started talking, people calmed down and died down. The words of the holy mali are unearthly, neimovirnu power. Vіn slandering the proud Eulogia with a simple, scarlet wise promo, and in the kіntsі squeezing a shard at the valley, it became a marvel. Burn over the valley half a cloud fell, spilling a stream of water on the ground, and the earth was left in the hands of the saint. Tsim holy Spiridon doviv, that God is triune. Axis i in the whole three days of the day in one. Єvlogіy buv prigolomshheny i movchav, vmit having spent your krasnomovstvo. Vіn having shattered his head and did not know the right word, so that the elders could be reproached. Nareshti vіn having turned to his successors and swayed, to have moved into the Arian heresy and verity like that, as if he had said this marvelous person.
  St. Spyridon created impersonal miracles, healed Kerkyra in the form of plague and Turkish pile, healed the sick and brought the dead back to life, helping the islanders with their life needs. Korfinyans passionately love their saint, call children yogi names: lads Spiros, girls Spiridulas. The whole island is shunning yoga and tremblingly protecting the power. To carry the saint's cancer out of the horseradish passage with the "standing" place. The power of yoga is close to tens of kilograms - the weight of the body of a living person, and the stench is warm. St. Spіridon is inflated at the oxamite cappci. The ministers of the church seem that periodically for a saint to wear a new look, but to wear the old one. Tse є svіdchennyam special diva - St. Spіridon walk in a right way to quiet, hto ask Yogo for help. Worn captions are carefully cut into little pieces and distributed to the believers. How to reach: the temple is located at the very center of the city on Kalocheretou street, a few meters away from Liston. Godini roboti: the temple is open daily from 7.00 to 20.00, relics are opened after the rank service from 11.00 to 13.00 and before Vechirny approximately from 16.30 to 17.30.

Beyond the garni, a majestic temple, from which the relics of the Holy Empress Theodori, the icon-worshipper, are saved. The stench is known to the cancer, as it is also called out for the pilgrims. You can write notes and read my Russian prayers (in order to lay down the text of the prayer). Temple of awakenings in the baroque style, maє round vikno-zirku over the entrance. The Church is maє svіy.
  
• Church of Saints Jason and Sosipater(Church of St. Iasonas and Sosipatros) . This is one of the first Christian churches, which dates back to the 12th century, of consecrations to the teachings of the Apostle Paul, calling such wines their relatives. Jason and Sosipater preached the Gospel in Corfu at 63 roci, set up the first temple and christened rich people. The stench recognized the persecution for the Christian faith by the emperor, who ruled on the islands, but his daughter on the name of Kerkyra, bachachi їhnyu stіykіst, tezh became a Christian. Not without reason, the emperor, having perished by the sea, followed the Christians, who fled to the dry island, having changed the new ruler, having punished the throwing of Jason and Sosipater into the cauldron with tar, and after drinking, that the tar did not harm him, you are so merciful. The preachers were old and lived in Corfu until old age. How to get away and years of work: You can check the website of the temple.
• Church of St. Nicholas Gerondon and Archangel Michael. This is an ancient church (XIV century), ymovіrno, the first of consecrations to Mykola the Wonderworker in Kerkyr, to that he will be called Gerondon (older). At the special part of the temple, a small number of Christians were buried, as they perished at the Battle of Navpakto in the 16th century. The long hour of the Venetian panuvannya church of Mikoli the Wonderworker was the residence of the high priests. A lot of relics are kept near the church: part of the Life-Giving Cross of the Lord, part of the relics of Mykoli the Wonderworker, St. Lazarus, the Apostle Andrew, St. Charalampia and Panteleimon. How to reach: be known by the Church of St. Spyridon and the Mother of God Spiliotisi (Metropoli), the town of Kambielo.
• Church of the Mother of God of Foreigners(Παναγία των Ξένων (Greek), Panagia ton Xenon). It seems that the church was awakened by foreigners, who came to live as far as Kerkiri. On Holy Day, at Great Saturday, here an earth coward is seen, they imitate it, believing, nibi with the noise of the moving walls, at the riddle about that earth coward, at the hour of such a blow, the stone in the Holy Sepulcher. The icon of the Mother of God, the patroness of foreigners, is embellished with the gifts of believers and quilts, and is right-handed in the sight of the Tsar's Gate. How to reach: It is even more beautiful, the quiet church is entrusted with the temple of St. Spyridon (another square at the entrance). Godini roboti: closes at 13.00 after the rank service. Vecherya is celebrated, as if it were the evening service.

Museums. Yaki varto see

Stara Fortress (Old Fortress

This is a significant part of the place, through the yak you can read the whole history of the island. The fort was built on the great rock, the first days are dated to the 6th century AD. If for a long time there were houses of local residents (about 355), but then, at the hour of the Venetian panuvannya, the fort began to victorious like a military object, and the people died. The Venetians built and modernized the fort, they built the contraforsa canal. At the same time, those places begin to bud, like a year and be a modern Kerkyra. The fort has fulfilled its defensive function: the island of Kilka once successfully fought against the Turks, while the rich places of the islands in Greece could not defend themselves and stumbled upon panuvannya.

In the XX century, the Old Fortress was based on the military part. To enter here, for the simple baggers, you can only go on the Holy Great Day, the Feast of Christ on the Day of Remembrance of St.

parks

"Mon Repo" (Mon Repo)

Wonderful park and palace "Mon Repos" (at the crossroads "mіy vіdpochinok") are located in the borders of Kerkiri in the district of Garitsa on the hillside of Analіpsі. From the palace, an enchanting sea look emerges.

In 1921, Prince Philip, the son of the English Queen Elizabeth the Other, was born in Mon Repos. Immediately, after a long court review between the Edinburgh dukes and the Greek order, for the decisions of the Strasbrusian European Court for the rights of the people "Mon Repos" to lie with Greece since 2002.

The palace itself was worthy of a calm and homely, but at the same time aristocratic atmosphere. Everything is here, as if it were an English duke: furniture, items of clothing, portraits, paintings, family relics, miraculous marmur go to another overhead. And on the other side of the archeological museum, a selection of objects found during the excavations near Kerkira.

At the park, we often beat people who are engaged in fitness, big, gymnastics. Advice: entrance to the Vilniy park, and to the palace cost 3 EUR. Godini roboti: palace - from 08:30 to 15:00, park open until late evening.

Southern regions

Like a sprinkling of tourist routes, like to pronounce to the mandriving, like to marvel at the outskirts of Corfu. I would recommend Paxos and Antipaxos, Meteori and Bari. If you call me for a trip to Meteora, the raja should go to bed earlier one day: there will be a long transfer by bus and then.

Nearby islands

From the port of Kerkyri, you can go by port to the mainland (Igumenitsa port), to Italy (Bar), Venice, Albania (you can see it from the island in good weather), as well as to the land islands of Paxos and Antipaxos. Tickets can be bought at tourist offices and ticket offices near the port. At the checkouts there is an electronic scoreboard.

Paxos and Antipaxos

These are the most beautiful islands, the least of the Іonіchnyh, about the appearance of which we did not hesitate. There are only a hundred people on Antipaxos!

The atmosphere of this world, the miraculous bathing from the ship, the Russian excursion program - everything has already been worthy of us, this one. Tour cost around 45 EUR. The excursion takes three whole days, and it takes about two years to get to the islands.

Vіdos i Pondikonіssі

The nearest islands to Kerkiri are tse Vidos (there is a monument to Serbian soldiers, a memorial) and Pondikoniss (Mishin Ostriv), at some earlier time the monastery, and at the same time the temple of Mykoli the Wonderworker was closed. The island walks freely. You can see the Pondikonissa from the sky, if you walk to the island.

How to reach: You can get up to the first one on small boats for 2.5 EUR. To Vidos is a little more expensive. An hour later, literally a sprat of hvilin (to Mishino - 10, to Vidos - 15). They don’t spend the night on the islands, it’s not enough to visit monuments and monuments, go to the temple.

Zha. What to try

Corfu cuisine is a gastronomic mix of traditional Greek herbs with Venetian and Italian recipes. Venetian doges, like a rich rock, ruled Corfu, pinned the island of love to pasta and confectionery.

• We prepare in Corfu that miracle beer Corfu beer. Fallen like a fort, it looks like it is behind the color of the labels. Best suited for red labels.
• Traditional Greek white wine - retsina. This is a dry wine with a sharply pronounced relish of pine resin. Serve chilled. Some locals dilute it with gassed water, but if you don’t see the special relish of retsini, I recommend that you don’t work it. Ouzo (grape burner with anise) and chipuro are traditionally drunk with traditional drinks. They are often diluted with water and ice.
• Of the non-alcoholic drinks in Corfu, the most popular (especially among the spicy months) is the ginger drink gingerbeer (dzhindzhirbir). Wine is a non-alcoholic beer made from grated ginger, lemon juice and zucru.

Now a few words about those that sound to our taste buds and that you don’t know in Corfu:

• As you will rise in price with children, you will rent an apartment with a kitchen, take porridge (wine, Greek) with you. Tsikh porridge is not available for sale.
• If you are a tea lover, take yoga with you, because there is not enough yoga here (mainly packaging) and more expensive wines. Yes, true, mystic girsky tea, ale wine more greenery and help mystic residents with a jubilant method.

Rinki and restaurants

So you choose to prepare independently, to pay respect to those who have a great market in the center of Kerkyra, where you can find fresh fish, vegetables, fruits, spices, olives and what only your soul cares about. M'yaso is sold in small shops, which say Kreapolio (kreas - m'yaso) and in great supermarkets like Lidl and Diellas.

I drink water in Corfu like bottled vane. Drinking tap water is not recommended.

If you don't want to spend the entrance in the kitchen, get ready before the average lunch at the Corfu tavern costs about 30 EUR per person (salad + drink + main grass (m'yaso abo riba) + dessert). Raju shukati family taverns and unique obіdati in taverns, roztashovannyh directly bіlya memoirs, there, as a rule, more expensive.

At some taverns of Corfu, Greek evenings are held, and a team of dancers is requested to wear national costumes. The stench acquaints tourists with the culture of Greek dance and teaches them the basics. Greek dances are energetic, harmonies, music is melodic, rich and groovy. Often taverns are placed at the entrance of the voice, that on the singing day we have a Greek evening (greek night), so please come and have mercy and eat at the same time.

Prices for їzhu on uzberezhzhі can be called approximately the same. Prote taverns instructed with reminders that cafes in the center of Kerkiri (on Liston, for example) cost more expensively. It is recommended to visit the family Greek taverns, for the quality of the service the stench is much better.

Budget deposits:

• Rouvas Tavern,
• Tavern Xagiati,
• Tsipouradiko Corfu,
• Pane e Souvlaki.

Middle rіven:

Zha. What to try

Gastronomic traditions and passions

Cooking at Kerkyra slyly, the relish of the straws comes out rich, the aroma turns your head. Prices are worthy of meat, ribi, and sheep herbs. Here, smut, choose a tavern. The Venetians poured into the kitchen of Kerkyri, for the panuvannya of such Corfu they knew a century of sprat - the star of love to macaroni and malt. If you take the menu of the family tavern, the cream of the main dishes, traditional for Kerkyri, you will know the chef’s style, yak, better for everything, will be in the family culinary recipe, the calling card of the tavern itself. Moreover, you can also have a special salad, meat with singing sauce, and an original appetizer (for example, eggplant).

For more details about those that you don’t know in Greece from our primary products, read in my about Corfu, for short, that’s buckwheat and grapevine (you can know it by force), sir, which can be easily replaced with excellent walnut yogurt, well, there’s not enough great good, In my opinion, tea.

De eating

LAIKI

In Greek, rinok sounds like laiki (“like”, voice to another warehouse). This obov'yazkovy attribute of some kind of Mediterranean place, as you can call it a primal reminder that spontaneously hid. Here you can see the right walnut fishermen, who trade in a ranged catch, Kerkyrey farmers, who loudly pronounce fresh and ecologically pure vegetables and fruits to you. Є th brought goods. A majestic row with richly salted olives, peas and dried fruits, eggs from domestic chickens, prices of different prices, from the store, in my opinion, they are not particularly disturbed, but for the great choice, the freshness of the atmosphere, I would like to shop there once.

Supermarkets

Great stores in Kerkyr tezh, products, butova chemistry, vegetables, fruits, feed for creatures, well, you can know everything like that in the stores "Lidl" (German), "Dієlas" (Italian), "Dimitra" (Greek) and іn . You should go there if you want some water: if you drink in Kerkyr, you need to buy water from a beach, not from a tap.

Cafes and restaurants

Kerkyra has a lot of taverns, cafes and restaurants of different levels, but I recommend traditional Greek taverns, family ones. They feel like home, like a grandmother visiting - large portions, hosts of the hotel, balakuchi, good-natured. The price of a full meal with wine for two is not over 40 EUR, approx. Shukayte the city is quieter, filed for tourist services - it is guaranteed to be cheaper there. And you can have mercy, and you will spend on the platform of the folklore team, which will show you the choreographic maisternist of the sirtaki and zorba (even the garniy dance), although most of the time such Greek evenings are organized late. Marvel at the taverns, or ask the mists, if you elіnіko vrazі.

holy

The Greeks also love to celebrate Great Day in Corfu, because here it’s completely natural to go through the tract, with ancient traditions - so, as if it was still a rich day. The inhabitants of Corfu call the Great Day “Lambry Lambria” (“Syaivo Syaivo”), giving the light to the joy of this happy day.

Great Saturday begins with a long service and a goddamn walk with St. Spiridon. This is early after the hour of the end of hell. Vіn buv confirmations on the riddle about the miraculous order of the inhabitants of the island in the form of starvation.

Three merchant ships, sailing to Italy, unexpectedly changed their course and moored to Kerkiri, bringing with them a ryativna zha. Tse Bulo at Strasny Saturday. The sailors said that the old man in cassocks was running, that he was in front of the windbreakers, showing the way. Dekilka razіv stink chuli strong voice: “Bik Kerkiri. There people are starving. You pay, pay. At bik Kerkiri.

If the hell of a journey ends, the relics of St. Spyridon will be depleted of vіdkritimi order from vvtar to Holy Tuesday - and in tsі three days the sea of ​​pilgrims will hurry to bow to their good saint and ask for help and intercession.

After all, go to hell and hurry to Liston Street - there begins the mass "deprivation" of miners. Mіstsevі inhabitants vіdchinyâyât vіkna, throwing red satin towels with golden fringe and check 11 wounds through the doorway — at the same time from vicon to fly clay glaci, filled with water, to sound louder and more cheerfully fought — right on the main street of the city, in all the provinces of the island.

The nightly weekly service begins on the 11th evening - it’s small, a little more than a tract. People check the viguka of the priest: “Christ Anesti!”, check the arrival of the holy fire from Jerusalem. Before Tim, how to blame him from the vіvtarya - everything goes out for a while, it calms down. And then - spalahu the great joy of the holy Resurrection of Christ.

The metropolitan, the city government, the philharmonic orchestra and thousands of people took the fate of the Weekly Christening Walk. That unique sight is fantastic: all the balconies and balconies of the city’s houses are open, candles are burning on them, and on the main square there are three thousand lamps in the hands of the viruyuschikhs, like the holy day of Great Day is coming on the largest square of Greece.

holy

Nayaskravishi St. Kerkiri:

• Great Day, Christ's Resurrection - spring chi grass;
• Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary - serpen;
• Days of remembrance of St. Spyridon - the first week of leaf fall and 12th chest.

The great day is before the Terrible week, which begins with Palm Week. All day long to pass the tract of horseradish, having found in Kerkyr, it collapses with streets, which christen the perimeter of the place, like a wine having been founded in 1630 roci. Tsya horseradish of the move is inserted into the riddle about the bubonic plague of the inhabitants of Kerkyra.

18 philharmonic orchestras (musical "bands") from the different forces of Corfu, all the stench dressed in the parade uniform of bright colors, play classical compositions and marches. It is noteworthy that less than the members of the collectives - professional musicians, the best people of different professions - taxi drivers, doctors, policemen, economists - have graduated from a music school as children and now they are regularly taken together for rehearsals and performances.

After Palm Week, a terrible day is coming. At this hour, great holidays and weekends begin in Greece, if students and older people who work in other places are slowly starting up in Corfu. Before them come pilgrims and tourists. In this rank, up to the permanent population of the island of 130,000 people, another 70,000 come.

Regardless of the greatness of the people, on the streets of the place panuє order, that cleanliness, good-natured attitude, and calmness of the hospitality. People are experiencing the sub-skin day of Holy Monday already deeply and try not to miss the annual service.

At Great Friday, a service is held at the temples, at the hour of which the Savior is known from Christ. Children bring to the temples the flowers, and they begin to embellish the Shroud. Sound embellishment young girls are engaged in. Evenings on the entire island pass "Epіtafiosi" - walk from Shrouds. The skin of the course may have its own route. A strong orchestra is peacefully collapsing in front, then the priests walk with the Shroud, and behind them the paraffians sing with lit candles. In rural days, there is a lot of movement with three vogniks, which is especially outrageous. Believe deeply experience the suffering of Christ and make you cry heartily.

On Great Saturday in Corfu, amazing speeches are made. Early in the morning at the temple of the Most Holy Theotokos, the patroness of foreigners, earthworms are trampled. Yogo is “imagined” believing that the uranians come to the liturgy. The stinks are roaming the walls, blunting their feet, seeing the rumble - everything is a riddle about that earth coward, who was eating on the early Great Saturday and at the hour of such a majestic stone wading into the Holy Sepulcher. Then we start to walk with the relics of St. Spyridon, installed on the riddle about the Kerkiri sorcerer in the face of hunger.

Sweat about 11:00 a.m. the townspeople, who live on Liston, rule the city of vistavu: the mountaineers from the clay, filled with water, leave the windows and balconies of their houses for the brukivka. Tse roblyat mayzhe all "listons". And a deafening gurkit starts, everything looks merrily and hoarsely. The miners sound the red chi of the red-blue color, on which is written Kalo Pasxa! ("Happy Easter!")

Until midnight there is no free space on Liston, everything is filled with believers and tourists. Representatives of newspapers, TV broadcasting and other ZMI with the necessary possessions can be invisible. At this street you can’t stop feeling - everything seems natural and simple, as if the hour had passed. If the gurkіt ends, and the clay drank the trochs of the earth, people make right excavations - they whisper among the shards in the garni of the ulama and the unbroken neck, so that you can take it from you and save it until the onset of fate.

It is an old tradition, perhaps, to speak with biblical words about the ruination of “meager ships”, and such an explanation: myrrh-bearing squads, not knowing Christ at the Sepulcher, left the judges at the entrance to the oven, they brought them with them, and the judges were smashed. Spivvіdnosit tse action is the same with the Italian, more precisely the Venetian tradition of vikna vіkna old speech, as the Greeks modified "pіd yourself". Adzhe, as we have already written, Corfu has long been rebuffed under the Venetian infusion, mayzhe 400 years (1401-1791). The Venetian style hung more prominently in the architecture of the central streets of Kerkiri.

At night there is a holy weekly service, so bright and ready. This day is happy for that inexpressible joy. During the nights, they all become close, hug each other and pray for new fates, hovering alone alone: ​​Christ is risen! How Christ has not risen is marna and our preaching, and faith is your marna!

Vіruyuchi rozgovlyayutsya farbovannymi eggs and licorice, healthy bread, which is called churek. Often yogo is baked in the form of a pussy, and stuffed eggs are inserted into the middle.

Corfu is considered a safe place, and the Greeks are the people of the host, cultured and welcoming. Near the cafes and shops they don’t get mad, they don’t drink on the streets. But remember that during the tourist season on the streets no less than Greeks are running around, it’s better to go to the company during the night walks. Irrespective of those who often ask tourists not to leave bags on the beach with special speeches and pennies, especially in my practice I didn’t talk a little about those who were robbed. There is only one thing to beware of varto - specks, as if you can really get healthy, as you don’t prepare for it.

On some beaches, more importantly, on wild ones, sea urchins are huddled, so you choose to swim on such a beach, take gum caps from you.

Bezpeka. Why warto beware

From my caution:

• Kerkyra is a safe and peaceful place, but you don’t need to forget that in any tourist places there are a lot of crowds of different people, and you can’t vouch for their skin. Sometimes the zhestrichayutsya, for example, beating the church of St. Spyridon, but in the middle of them they try not to let them in.
• At cafes and restaurants, we were never robbed once, those same in shops and on the market. It’s like a friend bought a jacket and put it in a bag in a black shop, we only got shy a year later and turned around, the sellers gave the bag and said be respectful.
• I do not recommend walking around the city at night, only in the company and more or less crowded places.
• It’s already smoky at Kerkyra, and it’s windy for the winter, so dress up for the weather and don’t forget your hats.

What to do

If you like to go to Corfu for black or red, I recommend signing up for a Nordic walking group and walking a few kilometers on a beautiful island. This miraculous anti-stress will help you both physically and mentally. Groupies sound like they are being formed in front of the guests. If you want to go on your own, you should take the route ahead and do not turn the stitch at the highway: there may be snakes there. Dress up close your pants. Likewise, you will increase the price of the spec, replace Scandinavian walking for a safari walk.

Shopping and shops

On Corfu there is a sprig of tsikavih place for shopping. Nasampered, center.

• There are shops with European brands, for example, Mark&Spencer. Opposite the Hondos Center. It’s worth to finish an expensive store, on the first version of perfumery and cosmetics, on resht - human and woman’s clothes. The store on the basement is worthy of respect: there they sell walnut cosmetics and supplementary goods, at average prices.
• On the way to the port (Limani) є speech shop Triandafilo. Tse duzhe vіdvіduvane mіsce: production there is more important than walnut production, at low prices. E Italian speeches. A good man's dress on the basement version, where you can get more jeans for 10–12 EUR. I love this store and recommend to visit there.

On the streets of Kerkiri, it was enough to sell white and white speeches at average prices. For example, a simple summer sundress can be purchased for 15 EUR. A lot of benches with virobs made from olive trees. It’s hard to call them cheap, you can buy a small dossier for 8-10 EUR.

Kerkyra has a bunch of big stores that sell, including walnuts. During the season, you can get a discount in Italy for low prices. For example, human laces with natural skins for the spring-autumn season cost 40 EUR. There is no winter rush for sale.

Obviously, in Corfu there are shops for fur coats, in which they sell fur coats. In close proximity to Russian shops, Greeks can be called cheap, speeches are hot, sellers offer good discounts (up to 30%), you can bargain for that, but it’s great. The rajah was entrusted to look into the fur coat shop from the church of St. Spyridon: there is a tricky coat for reasonable prices, dear gentlemen, like a jacket and a fur coat, you need a little bit to fit the figure, stink for you (at the store - your own atelier).

A lot of jewelry crannies. Gretsky gold yellow, sonyak color cost more expensive, lower Russian. And the axis of silver can be painted inexpensively. The traditional adornments of Corfu are made up of a slab of light, which does not darken for an hour (special alloy), supplemented with a blue-green stone (the Greeks call it a variety of opal).

Near the area of ​​Kerkiri, which is called Fesi Katsimidi, is a great Greek shop for children. jumbo. Tse merezhevy store, in which the number of toys is great, for developing games, lyalki, embellishment, children's clothes, malt, etc. And on the first version - goods for the home, garden, kitchen for creatures. Jumbo is respected by one of the found stores for children.

Sound the hour of the fall falling on the cob of grass and the middle of the sickle.
