Ιερά Μονή Μυρτιώτισσας, Orthodox monastery on western Corfu coast, Greece.
The Eastern Orthodox monastery stands on a hillside above Myrtiotissa beach, surrounded by pine forests and olive groves 15 kilometers from Corfu town.
The monastery receives its name from the miraculous icon of the Virgin Mary discovered among myrtle bushes in the 14th century on Kythera, Greece.
Orthodox believers visit the monastery to participate in night liturgies and religious celebrations that take place throughout the calendar year.
Access to the monastery requires a 300-meter uphill walk from Myrtiotissa beach, which can be reached by bus from Corfu town.
Rock formations hanging above the monastery create a distinct natural setting between the sea and Mount Saint George.
