Corfu



			Corfu - the Greek name is Kerkyra - is the most northern and the second largest island of the Ionian Islands. Corfu lies off the west coast of Greece and its northern coast is only 2 kms from Albania. Corfu is the greenest island of Greece and offers also in the summer months a magnificent vegetation. The hilly landscape is marked by more than 3 million olive trees. At the fantastic coast with long sandy beaches and bays with pebbles and turquoise crystal-clear water everyone finds its favourite beach. Corfu has a moderate climate, with not to high temperatures in the summer and still pleasant water temperatures in the late autumn. Many places of interest, the good infrastructure, the excellent kitchen and the night life offer varied holidays days.


	Corfu Town is one of the most beautiful and interesting cities in Greece. The magic of Corfu Town is the influence of the Venetians who for centuries controlled the island and it was never occupied by the Turks. This gives it a character very different from the rest of the greek cities. A must to visit is the amazing old town settled between two fortresses. Here you find a labyrinth of narrow stonepaved streets, numerous squares with flowers and trees, elegant buildings, Byzantine churches and many shops of all kinds.
