Pontikonissi, or Mouse Island, is a tiny island just south of Kerkyra city, directly opposite Corfu airport at the entrance to Halikiopoulou lagoon.

Perched on this small, verdant rocky outcrop, covered in lush vegetation and towering cypress trees, stands a 12th-century Byzantine chapel, the Church of Pantokratora, accessible via white stone steps.

According to legend, this rocky islet is actually Odysseus’s ship returning to Ithaca, petrified and transformed into rock by the wrath of Poseidon, who did everything in his power to make his voyage impossible.

The crossing from the mainland takes just 5 minutes by small boat. Just opposite, on a little island connected to the Kanoni peninsula by a concrete causeway, stands the Vlacherena Monastery, Corfu’s most iconic monument, founded in 1685.
