Location

The island of Corfu, with its unique combination of climate, Venetian, Greek and English cultural and architectural history, has attracted tourists for decades. As one of the largest islands in Greece, it boasts a capital city, Kerkyra (Corfu Town), with all of the historical appeal of an old European town, from the Venetian Canal and fortresses, to the French styled Liston, to the cricket green which dominates the old town¢s esplanade. Geographically stunning, Corfu maintains its appeal outside the hushed bustle of Kerkyra. The island is full of wildflowers in spring; and soft breezes characterise the clear autumn weather. Winter rains keep the island green, and a warm summer season ensures abundant fruit trees, including the traditional olive and citrus trees, and the more unusual kumquat, an island specialty said to have been brought to the Venetians by Marco Polo from China.
