Christianity and its worship came to Ithaki when the island was part of the Byzantine Empire. Religious samples of superb beauty such as monasteries and churches can be seen wherever you go on the island; on hill and mountains as well as near the sea.

Some of them are
Kathara Monastery,
Anogi's Church,
building in Paleohora
and Ithaki's Cathedral.

Apart from the monasteries and the churches there are several Venetian buildings witnessing the island's occupation by the Venetians for almost 3 centuries.
