Monastery of Vlacherna, Protected monastery in Central Corfu, Greece.
The Vlacherna Monastery stands on a small islet connected to the mainland by a stone pier near the Corfu International Airport.
Dating from the 17th century, this religious structure functioned as a monastery until 1980 and now houses a church for local celebrations.
The monastery contains a notable wood-carved iconostasis and religious paintings that showcase Greek Orthodox architectural and artistic traditions.
Visitors can reach the monastery by walking along the stone pier and purchase traditional items from the souvenir shop in the courtyard.
The location between the airport runway and Pontikonissi island allows visitors to watch aircraft pass overhead while viewing both landmarks.
