Corfu

The nature of the island of Corfu is considered more than unique! This island of the Ionian Sea is lush in vegetation and very rich in both flora and fauna. The olive groves, vines, citrus trees, orchards, the dense vegetation, but also the beautiful, indented coastline with the golden sandy beaches, embellish the island. The natural colours and aromas, all blend harmoniously and can absolutely justify why the island is known as the "lady of the Ionian". The presence of the island has been historically testified since ancient times. It was actually known as the mythical land of the Phaeacians in ‘Odyssey’. During its course through history, it was conquered by the Romans, Byzantines, Venetians, English and the French. It was the Venetians though who had the greatest impact on the island's modern character and culture. The old Venetian buildings, fortresses, churches, squares and the Achilleion Palace, all take us on a trip through the glorious past of the island, helping us to discover the charming and elegant characteristics of it.
