Explore Pontikonisi – Monastery of Vlacherna
The island is located 3 kilometers south of the city center, between Kanoni, Perama, and Benitses. Pontikonisi is one of the most popular and well-known attractions of the island.
At the top of this islet lies the Byzantine chapel of Pantokrator that was built in the 11th century and it is surrounded by dense vegetation. Access is easy, as there are several boats that take visitors from the beach below Kanoni to Pontikonisi.
