Discover more about Kanoni Harbour

Kanoni Harbour is more than just a marina; it's a vantage point offering some of the most iconic and photographed views in Corfu. Situated on the Kanoni peninsula, south of Corfu Town, it overlooks a stunning panorama encompassing the azure waters of the Ionian Sea, the verdant Mouse Island (Pontikonisi), and the charming Vlacherna Monastery. Historically, the area of Kanoni, also known as Paleopolis, was the site of the ancient city of Corfu, founded in the 8th century BC. The name 'Kanoni' itself derives from a cannon placed here in 1798 by the French, serving as part of a battery to protect the island. Today, a cannon still stands on the promontory, attracting visitors. The harbor is a bustling spot, with local fishermen tending to their boats and private leisure crafts bobbing in the water. Visitors can stroll along the waterfront, soak in the scenery, and enjoy the views that shift with the changing light, especially during the warm hues of sunset. Boat trips to Mouse Island depart regularly from here, offering a closer look at the island's 13th-century church of Pantokrator. Kanoni is also known for its close proximity to Corfu International Airport, offering visitors the unique experience of watching planes take off and land. The area is well-equipped for tourists, with cafes and restaurants offering fresh seafood and traditional Greek dishes.
