Platytera Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Mandouki, Corfu, Greece
The Platytera Monastery stands near Corfu Town with a carved wooden iconostasis adorned in gold and silver leaves inside the main church.
Founded in 1741 by monk Chrysanthos Syropoulos, the monastery endured French occupation in 1797 and underwent reconstruction after surviving a destructive fire in 1798.
The monastery maintains Greek Orthodox traditions through daily prayers, religious ceremonies, and the cultivation of olive groves by five resident monks.
Located at a 10-minute walking distance from the central bus station of Corfu Town, the monastery provides convenient access for visitors arriving by public transport.
The burial site of John Capodistrias features a shrine to the Virgin Mary with a gold cover and diamond crown donated by the Kapodistrias family.
