Corfu, the legendary island of the Phaeacians and Nausica, is one of the best known and most beautiful islands in the Mediterranean.

It's the northerly island of the Ionian Group and lies at the entrance of the Adriatic Sea. It is the second largest island of the Ionians. It is a mountainous island with impressive landscapes, dense vegetation due to many rainfalls in winter, long golden sandy beaches, one of Greece's most beautiful towns, many traditional villages, Byzantine churches, several museums, impressive Venetian fortresses and lively resorts all around the island.

History Corfu

The island's obvious beauty has shaped its history for it has been fought over by almost any nation to have ever taken up arms – from the Romans to Napoleon, Russia and of course, the British. Corfu Town, the island's capital, best illustrates these many occupying influences. French-style arcaded buildings flank a green esplanade and cricket pitch. Georgian mansions and Byzantine churches complete the picture. The delightful old town, wedged between two vast fortresses is perhaps more reminiscent of Venice than Greek towns

Early history Cofu, Medieval history [ Venetian rule, Venetian policies and heritage ], 19th century [ British Lord High Commissioners ], World War I, World War II and Resistance [ Italian occupation, The German occupation and the Holocaust, Liberation ], Post-War and modern Corfu.
