UnderWater Photos of Corfu.

Τhe coastline of Corfu has a total length of 217 km and forms several bays, capes and caves.

Its territory is mostly mountainous, and therefore has steep rocky beaches.

All this creates an interesting underwater landscape with plenty of fish that lives there.

Corfu Airport plane shots

Corfu Airport is a world famous airport for one reason. The runway is very close to accessible areas, so, many humans enjoy airplanes landings or takeoffs while the planes pass over their heads Is an international airport, so you can imagine the traffic of the planes. The lake around the runway give us a lot of unique moments for shooting. Realy, we love airplanes so much !!!

Religious Events of Corfu Saint Spyridon, the Keeper of the City.

In 1453, Spyridon's relics were moved to the island of Corfu from Constantinople, where they remain to this day, in Saint Spyridon Church.

"Litany of St. Spyridon" on August 11 is a commemoration of St. Spyridon's role in the defence of the island in 1716 after Ottomans attack.

This litany during the summer, attracts believers from all over the world. Many of them follows the saint’s Spyridon relic all the way of the litany.

The photos in these pages, are from "Litany of St. Spyridon" on August 11 although there are three more litanies
