Mouse Island - Pontikonisi

One of the most famous and photographed places here on Corfu. Written with much affection by Gerald Durrell in Tthe Corfu Trilogy Pontikonisi is a Greek island near the island of Corfu. Its prominent feature is a Byzantine chapel of Pantokrator, dating from the 11th or 12th century. You can walk around it and visit inside too, there is a little souvenir shop to buy gifts. We would also recommend taking the little boat for just €2.50 and visiting mouse island, where there is a lovely church and you can relax from it all except for the noise of the odd airplane that comes over the top from time to time.
