Towering above the Kanelata area stands the Zoodochos Pigi (Life-Giving Spring).
The name Zoodochos Pigi resonates with the Greek Orthodox tradition, referring to the “Source of Life” or the “Fountain of Eternal Life.” This symbolic association imbues the church with a special significance, making it a place of hope and rejuvenation.
As you stand by the Zoodochos Pigi, your gaze is drawn to the panoramic beauty that unfolds before you. Vathy, the charming capital of Ithaca, sprawls out below, bathed in the warm Ionian sunshine. In the distance, the alluring Sarakiniko Bay beckons with its turquoise waters and pristine beaches.
The celebration takes place five days after Easter, a time traditionally associated with rebirth and new beginnings.
