Icon Gallery

Corfu Town


True to its name, this hole-in-the-wall boutique sells stunning icons, handmade by an artists' co-op, as well as fine heraldic art and antiques. Some of the icons have a distinctly modern twist – Adam being titillated by a not-very-shy Eve, for example – that the Church surely wouldn't approve of!
