Corfu Island
Corfu is a magical place from end to end, a great work of art that reveals itself more and more the more you see it. With its white sand beaches, buzzing nightlife, historical past, and mix of Venetian, French and English cultures, Corfu town does have something for everyone.
Located in the northwest of Greece, in the north of the Ionian Sea and in the entrance of the Adriatic Sea, Corfu (or Kerkira in Greek) is historically the main capital of the seven Ionian Islands and one of the most beautiful islands in Greece. Corfu is proud of its cultural and artistic heritage made immediately visible in its many fine museums and its warmly welcoming Italianate architecture.
Mountains dominate the northern half of Corfu where dramatic cliffs drop to the island’s most popular beach resorts. Holiday hotspots are concentrated around Corfu Town in the east and along the island’s north coast.
There is every type of beach, from soft and sandy to hidden and rocky, making it the perfect destination for families or couples.
The Old Town and its two forts are nowadays listed among UNESCO's World Heritage Monuments.
It has interesting museums and churches, as well as a distinct cultural tradition, with countless philharmonic orchestras….And when darkness falls, the pulse of entertainment beats in the bars around the neighborhoods in the new fortress.
