What people say
Pilar Asensio
"One of the island's most picturesque and iconic religious sites. Located on a small islet connected to the Kanoni Peninsula by a narrow causeway, the monastery is easily recognizable by its charming whitewashed buildings and the surrounding serene blue waters.
The monastery dates back to the 17th century and is dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Its name, "Vlacherna," refers to the original icon of the Virgin Mary that was housed in the monastery. This icon is believed to have miraculous powers and has been a significant pilgrimage site for centuries. "

" This picturesque monastery, dedicated to the Virgin Mary (Panagia), is one of the most iconic images associated with Corfu.
Access: The monastery is accessible by a paved causeway, allowing visitors to walk from the mainland to the islet easily.
If you go there at sunset, there is also a good plane spotting and sunset catching place!"

"You can visit and watch planes landing, which is a truly thrilling experience. The nearby monastery, situated in the middle of the water, is a stunning sight. From here, you can take a boat to the enchanting Mouse Island. Highly recommended!"
