Corfu Churches & Monasteries - Nestled in the southern part of the Kanoni peninsula, just south of the city, lies the Vlaherna Monastery in Corfu, Greece. Known as the icon of Corfu, this small monastery sits on a tiny island connected to the mainland by a narrow wharf that appears to be floating in the sea. Its stunning all-white seventeenth-century architecture contrasts beautifully with the blue sea, creating the perfect opportunity for an unforgettable photograph. Make your way through the archway located at the base of the bell tower, and you'll find yourself in a charming courtyard leading to the monastery church.
