CorfuThe island of the Phaecians
A true jewel of the Ionian Sea with exceptional beauty, known for its picturesque landscapes, endless beaches with crystal clear turquoise waters, verdant vegetation, charming villages, and a wonderful Venetian old town. It is one of the few islands that keeps its grandeur and nobility untouched through the passing of time.
Corfu has a rich history that weaves many influences, with the Venetians, English, French, and Russians flourishing here and leaving their mark on the island. A promenade to the cobblestone alleys and the imposing squares of Corfu Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, promises a nostalgic journey through the centuries.
Make sure you try the delicious cuisine, as the island’s cultural influences are expressed in dishes that show off Italian touches and the island’s delicious Mediterranean produce. And, of course, don’t forget the beaches; the list is endless, from secluded picturesque coves to large, vibrant stretches of sand and beach bars, tavernas, shops, and water sports.
