The festival of the Holy Spirit at the Faneromeni Monastery in Lefkada is an important religious event that draws many pilgrims from the island and across Greece. The celebration spans two days and is marked by prayers, reverence for the icon of the Virgin Mary, and religious rituals. You'll get a real flavour for authentic Greek culture here, and you can browse the sprawling market that is a central part of the festival - great for clothes, accessories, homewares and street food.

Het klooster was mooi. Maar de markt viel tegen. Was gezegd dat de markt km lang was maar was vrij klein.
