ABOUT

Kanoni is part of Central Corfu. A famous sightseeing area south of Corfu Town, known for views of Vlacherna Monastery, Pontikonisi and aircraft approaching the airport.

Kanoni is one of Corfu's classic sightseeing stops, best known for the elevated view towards Vlacherna Monastery and Pontikonisi, or Mouse Island. Aircraft approaching the nearby airport add another distinctive feature to the viewpoint.

The area is close to Corfu Town and can be combined with Mon Repos, Paleopolis and other central Corfu attractions. It is particularly well suited to visitors interested in sightseeing, scenic views, photography, history & culture and car-free holidays.
