Sacred Greek Orthodox Sites

Lefkada’s religious landscape is defined by Byzantine monasteries, cave chapels, and post-Byzantine churches reflecting the Ionian school of architecture. The Monastery of Faneromeni serves as the island's spiritual center, while sites like the Monastery of Agios Ioannis at Rodaki were constructed over ancient Greek temples. These locations feature unique characteristics, from the red stone masonry of Kokkines Ekklesias to the rock-hewn sanctuary of Agios Ioannis Antzousis, where early Christian tradition began on the island.
