The island's history is laden with battles and conquests. Corfu

was long controlled by Venice, which repulsed several Turkish

sieges, before falling under British rule following the

Napoleonic Wars. Corfu was eventually ceded by the British

Empire along with the remaining islands of the United States

of the Ionian Islands, and unification with modern Greece was

concluded in 1864 under the Treaty of London. In 2007, the

city's old city was designated for the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Corfu is renowned for its long tradition and rich culture which is un-

like any other Greek island.

Here you will also discover a compact world of beautiful beaches and

stunning mountain peaks, ancient ruins and picturesque villages. There is

something for everyone on the island, whether you prefer peace and quiet or

a lively cosmopolitan holiday destination.

Corfu is a beautiful green island, which enjoys a mild Mediter-

ranean climate. Corfu is a very popular tourist destination.

Up until the early 20th century, it was mainly visited by

the European royals and elites, including Empress Elis-

abeth of Austria. It is still popular with the global elite

however, and in the island's northeast the homeown-

ers include members of the Rothschild family. British

naturalist Gerald Durrell wrote three well-loved books

about his 1935–1940 childhood on Corfu: My Family

and Other Animals; Birds, Beasts and Relatives; and The

Garden of the Gods.
