LAKONES-PALEOKASTRITSA-KANONI-CORFU TOWN

It is only a short distance from Corfu Airport, and many tourists are drawn by the view it offers. The Halikiopoulos lagoon, which is still a habitat in the area and hosts significant bird species[1], is located close to the scattered houses and farms as you enter Kanoni (from the Palaiopolis area). As we ascend the hill toward the peninsula’s tip, we pass opulent hotels before arriving at Kanoni’s central square, which is lined with bars and cafes. From therAs we descend the hill, we come across Panagia ton Vlacherna Monastery, from which we can take a boat to Pontikonissi. The visitor then comes across the footbridge that links Kanoni with Perama at the opposite end of the lagoon. Due to the airport’s proximity and the fact that planes frequently land and take off directly over the footbridge, the bridge draws a lot of plane spotters.e, one can enjoy the view of Pontikonissi and the airport.

The old Corfu town, which was originally constructed between two fortresses, has grown with high buildings as a result of the growing population. When you arrive by ferry, the sea’s humidity conceals it, only to suddenly reveal the old harbor. The ancient streets, which look like those of Venice and Athens’ Plaka and are full of cobblestones and historic buildings, present an incredible atmosphere for walking around and shopping or just enjoying some coffee at  one of the many squares in this beautiful place.
