The Pearl of the Greek Sea ~ Corfu

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Corfu (also known as Corcyra) has an area of ​​580 square kilometers and is the second largest island in the Ionian Islands. It is separated from Albania by the Strait of Corfu. When we arrived in Corfu, we were lucky enough to witness the annual St. John ceremony in the local church. The typical Greek traditional dance in the ceremony was quite eye-catching. Although the ceremony was explained in Greek, it was generally understandable. The island still preserves the traditional way of celebration. Dancers in the party hold ceramic pots Botides while dancing. After the dance, they will pierce the pots. Some scenes, such as passing them through fire or throwing leaves into the fire, are quite similar to the way of breaking pieces for peace and burning dragon boats to ward off evil spirits.
