98% of Greeks are Greek Orthodox and they take their faith seriously. They have beautiful churches and they are all filled on Sundays, although some of them are not very difficult to fill, since they can only fit five to ten people. They also have so called ecclesias on the side of the road everywhere, so that people can stop and pray anytime they are on the road. The patron saint of Corfu is St. Spiridon, who according to legend protected the country against the enemy a number of times.
Is the water blue enough? Our boat stopped about 200 yards from the shore of the
Blue Lagoon and we had to swim to the beach. I was so proud of Kamilla, who swam to the shore and back. The water was 6 meters deep. She was the only child under the age of 12 who did it. Way to go Milli!
And here is a broader picture of the
Blue Lagoon. It is NOT the place where the famous movie was filmed.
