Corfu refers to both the island and to its main town. Villages of whitewashed houses confetti the sunny isle, two to 15 miles off the Albanian coast. Kerkyra, as it is called in Greek, is rich in Byzantine churches, Venetian fortresses and vibrant nightlife, just some of the reasons it remains the most popular Ionian island. The cosmopolitan town has a population of 37,000, and a wealth of Greek, French and British influences in its maze of narrow, cobbled streets and sophisticated New Town.
This Island is one of natures work of art, a museum in itself, a magical Island combining old with new, the classic with the eccentric, art with everyday life. It is filled with landscapes of unique beauty both in the mountains or next to the sea so full of life with breathtaking underwater seascapes. This fabulous Island isn't special because of it's beaches and greenery but rather for the people who created it or were connected to it, prominent figures that were important to both world history and the history of Corfu itself.
A truly beautiful island, worthy to visit by people of every age!
