There is no location more iconic than Kanoni for the August 15th celebrations. Centered around the white-washed Vlacherna Monastery, this festival is a breathtaking intersection of Ionian beauty and deep-rooted tradition.

While Kanoni is a tourist favorite by day, the Panagia festival is a night for the locals. As the moon rises over Mouse Island, the area transforms into a vibrant hub of live music and dancing. Local vendors offer traditional grilled specialties, and the atmosphere is electric. At Discover Corfu, we recommend this festival for those who want to experience the island’s most famous view in its most authentic, festive state.
