Corfu Island
Corfu is one of the Ionian Islands nestled off the west coast of the Greek mainland. It is one of the greenest of the Greek islands with thousands of olive trees carpeting the landscape and also one of the more rural, sleepy islands. Recently added to UNESCO's World Heritage List, the old town, with its Venetian forts and neo-classical housing was inscribed as a fortified Mediterranean port town of high integrity and authenticity. An elegant and charming capital in the Venetian style, Medieval Castles and monasteries, villages surrounded by verdant vegetation, and wonderful beaches such as Paleokastritsa, Agios Gordios, Nissaki and others are not to be missed.
