Very nicely-decorated draw well in the upper courtyard of the Monastery, next to the entrance to the church.
The mosaic depicts a woodland scene where creatures are drinking from a flowing stream. The inscription, in Greek, loosely translates to "This is the water of all life".
The other mosaic depicts a stylized dove.
Entrance to the Monastery is by following the narrow road #24 to the village of Lakonis, on Corfu's south west coast. Park at the base of the monastery and follow the pathway and stairs to the second level.
