The hotel Ariti is situated on the Kanoni 3.5 km from the centre of Corfu Town of charming scenery and of course here you can see with your own eyes the famous picture-postcard view of Mouse Island or Pontikonisi.

According to the legend Mouse Island was formed when the ship that had taken Odysseus back to Ithaki, his home port, was turned to stone by Poseidon, god of the sea, angry at being defied by the Phaeceans.
On the tiny island in the foreground is the Convent of Vlachernas, linked to the mainland by a causeway. From here you can take a boat to Mouse Island itself.
Along the road to Kanoni is the gate of Mon Repos park where elegant villa in Regency style stands in the grounds. Inside the Mon Repos Estate is a small Doric temple probably dedicated to Poseidon and dating from around 500 BC.
Opposite the Mon Repos gate is the ruin of Paleopolis Basilica, the oldest church still in existence in Corfu.The road opposite to Basilica takes you to the hamlet of Analypsis. The Acropolis of Corfu, with its temples and public buildings is thought to have been situated on the nearby hill of Ayia Marina.
