Greece Vlacherna church, Corfu island
The Vlacherna Church is a small but iconic Greek Orthodox church in Corfu, Greece. Situated on a tiny islet connected to the mainland by a causeway, it is one of Corfu’s most photographed landmarks. The church, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, was built in the 17th century and is known for its picturesque setting with views of the Ionian Sea. It is particularly famous for its association with the nearby Mouse Island (Pontikonisi), often seen in the background of photos. Vlacherna Church is a popular site for tourists and pilgrims, and it is often visited during religious celebrations, particularly the Panagia Vlacherna Feast in August.
Photography Tips
I believe morning is the best time to shoot this beautiful church. But it all depends on the season and sun position, check this one. Several opportunities to shoot there.
