About Corfu

The island of Corfu (called Kerkyra in Greek) was one of the first Greek islands to open itself to tourism,

mostly because of its historical and cultural background. Today, this is one of the most popular and tourist

developed islands of the country, but still it has managed to keep its special culture.

Corfu is part of the Ionian Islands and lies in the north of Ionian Sea, right at the entrance of the Adriatic Sea.

This is the second largest island of the Ionian group, after Kefalonia. With a coastline of 216 km, Corfu has

gorgeous beaches all over, from long coasts to tiny coves.

Because of the mild Mediterranean climate and the huge rainfalls in winter, Corfu has verdant vegetation and

wild plants. This makes it one of the greenest islands in Greece. Mostly a mountainous island, the highest

mountain rises at an altitude of 914 metres and it is called Mount Pantokrator. A lovely monastery is found on

the slopes of this mountain.

Corfu has both crowded and quiet tourist resorts, therefore it is a great destination for all tastes. Paleokastritsa,

Agios Stefanos, Acharavi, Kavos, Gouvia, Dassia and Agios Gordis are among the busiest beaches on the

island. However, there are other family resorts to enjoy more privacy and some peace. Such resorts are mostly

located on the southern side of the island, which is the least tourist developed.

Despite the fact that tourism is flagrant in the coastal areas, it hasn't spoilt yet the villages which keep their

authenticity and local colors. Strinilas, Agios Mattheos, Agioi Deka and Pelekas are great villages to give you a

view of the rural life in Corfu.

The economy of Corfu is mainly based on tourism but a small part is still related to agriculture. The inhabitants

produce high quality olive oil and wine. Also they cultivate a unique fruit in Greece called kumquat. With this

fruit, they make traditional spoon sweets and liqueurs. Another local product of Corfu is the ginger beer,

produced only there from all the country.

The capital and main port of the island is Corfu Town. Built between two fortresses and full of superb Venetian

buildings, Byzantine churches and flowered squares, Corfu Town is a real architectural jewel. In fact, it has the

second largest square in Europe: Spianada Squareis the second largest after Saint Mark Square in Venice.

The island also has vibrant nightlife for the young and restless. Beach bars stay open all night and play loud

music. Night swimming and fires on the beach are very popular close to these beach bars, giving a romantic

sense to your holidays.
