Its name impresses even after so many years of fame.

Holy Monastery of Panagia Vlacherna
This picturesque church was built in the 17th century and around 1980 it was abandoned by the last monk who lived there. This is a very small religious church with a two-storey bell tower that "floats" on the footbridge.

Stop At: Kaiser's Throne, Pelekas Greece
Emperor Wilhelm the 2nd was attracted by Corfu Island. Consequently he decided in 1907 to buy the Achilleion Palace from Princess Sissy of Austria and create it his residence on the island. As he actively assisted in the excavations of Agios Theodoros in Garitsa bay, there are many buildings and landmarks that bear his name, such as the beautiful Kaiser Bridge which was built for direct access from the Achilleion Palace to the beach which was partially destroyed during the Second World War
Shortly before his death, during 1914, he decided to leave a viewpoint as a unique gift for the locals and visitors to the island. That was his private observatory, where he found peace and enjoyed the amazing vista and breathtaking, surrounding beauty of oil-rich Corfu.
The Kaiser’s observatory or throne attracts visitors from all over the world for its stunning views and the detail that makes it stand out.
