Description:
The real symbol of the island of Corfu is the ancient monastery of Vlacherna. It is his unforgettable appearance that adorns the commemorative cards, photos and souvenirs that are sold in these places. This monastery has absorbed all the most beautiful and is located in the most unusual place of the island.
Vlacherna Monastery is located on the territory of a small peninsula, which is located a few hundred meters from the island. The whole area is occupied by a white stone monastery and a small chapel.
