The program of pilgrimage tours in Corfu is primarily a visit to the temples:

the Church of St. John the Baptist, built in the Old City in the 15th century on St. Placada Square, named so because it has 3 churches: the Temple of the Blessed Virgin, the patroness of foreigners, the Church of St. Spyridon and the Church of St. John the Forerunner; the ancient temple of St. Anthony the Great, where before the adoption of the episcopal order served the prelate Mark of Ephesus; the church of St. Basil the Great; the temple of the Blessed Virgin of the Strangers, where the miraculous icon of the Mother of God is located.

In the western part of the island you can visit the Monastery of the Holy Martyr Paraskeva in the village of Kinopistes, which is 8 km from the city of Kerkyra, where the great miraculous icon of Paraskeva Rome is kept. And also the Monastery of the Mother of God Paleokastritsa, built in the 13th century and storing the miraculous icon "The Life-giving Spring".
