Private day tour

Kanoni and Mouse Island

The view from Kanoni is the picture on half of Corfu's postcards: the little monastery of Vlacherna at the end of its causeway, and behind it Mouse Island, with its chapel among the trees.

Why go

It is a short drive from town, and few places fit so much into one small corner. Planes come in low over the lagoon to land at the airport next door, and the estate of Mon Repos, with its park and ancient ruins, is a few minutes away.

What to do

  • Walk the causeway to the monastery of Vlacherna
  • In summer, a small boat across to Mouse Island
  • Watch the planes land from the café above
  • The park and palace of Mon Repos

Good to know

  • About 15 minutes from the old town.
  • Easy to join with a walk in the old town on the same day.
