The Holy Monastery of Theotokos Myrtidiotissis is located in the area of the same name in the western part of Corfu. The Monastery dates back to around the 16th century. It is located in a location of outstanding natural beauty close to the sea. Its architectural form as well as the multitude of relics, which it has had for centuries, rank it among the most important Monasteries of Corfu. The beautiful Catholic Church of the Monastery is adorned with a multitude of religious icons, which are mainly Heptanisian in style.
Noteworthy is the icon of the Virgin Mary of Myrtidiotissa of exceptional technique and artistry, which is a point of religious reference and faith of many pious people, not only in the surrounding area but in all of Corfu.
The I. Monastery celebrates September 24th, the feast of the Most Holy Theotokos Myrtidiotissa.
