Easter in Zakynthos: Unique customs, reverent atmosphere, and religious emotion!

Excursion Itinerary

We depart at 05:30 in the morning from our city, where we will continue with a stop for coffee and rest, heading to Kyllini where we will board the ship to Zakynthos. The capital is built at the foot of the Mochalies hill. The starting point of the tours can be the square of Agios Dionysios and the museum. Stroll through the streets and visit the historic church of Faneromeni. The most beautiful walk is Andreas Lombardou Street - the famous Strata Marina. From there you will reach Solomos Square, which is full of statues of famous personalities, the library and the cultural center. Check in at the hotel and rest. Meet again in the evening for the procession of the Epitaph. One of the special features of the island is that the Epitaphs are made of wood and decorated with gold leaf. Procession of the Epitaph without the procession of the Epitaphs. Return to the hotel and stay overnight.
After breakfast, we board the bus with high spirits and head to Chora and specifically the Church of St. Mark with the throwing of clay jugs during the First Resurrection. The procession of the Crucified Christ crosses the city, creating a special emotion, and ends at Solomos Square where the Metropolitan blesses the clergy and the people with the Crucified Christ, thus completing the ultimate religious ceremony. Additionally, the first Resurrection is connected to the Gloria custom where the faithful express their joy by banging pots and chairs, while at the same time, from the houses, clay pots are thrown, mimicking the noise in the New Testament.
After breakfast, we will have free time to explore and enjoy the Easter meal. In the afternoon, the Vespers of Love and the procession of the imposing icon of the Virgin Mary of Galanusas and the icon of the Resurrection take place at the Holy Church of Saint Lazarus. Free time. Return to the hotel and overnight stay.
After we have our breakfast and have collected our luggage, we board the bus heading to the port of Zakynthos where we can take a last walk and do some shopping before leaving behind the beautiful images we experienced. Boarding the ship for our return!
