Kanoni (One- Gun Battery)
Night view
The Monastery of Vlacherna & the famous Kanoni Kanoni (One- Gun Battery), a little square with a superb view- one that has to some extent become Corfu's trademark. The name originates with the French, who installed a cannon here that nowadays stands above the little square, next to the tourist pavillion.
No tourist should miss the experience of the superb and unforgettable view from there, at any time of the day.

T
o the left there are two little islets, each of which has a monastery on it, neather of which is of any particular interest to the visitor.
The nearer one, reached by a causeway, is to Our Lady 'Vlacherna' and the further one, on Pontikonisi (Mouse Island) is to Pantocrator.
