Corfu has always been in the sight of the powerful. Romans, Byzantines, Enetics, English and French conquerors marked the island. But the appearance of Enetics was determinant for the island's route. The old town still keeps the Venetian feature solid, but the particular eptanisian culture with influences from the venetian civilization, reveal the uniqueness of its residents. This island of the Ionian sea is a top tourist destination globally.
The lady of Ionian, as people call Corfu, is located in the north end of the Ionian sea and it's the second in size island - after Kefalonia- in Eptanissa islands. It has an oblong shape and an extension of 592sq. m. It is right across the Epirotic shores and it's the north-western point of Greece. Characteristic of Corfu is the green land. In this verdurous island the green colour prevails even in the winter. Its ground is fertile and are cultivated olive trees, vineyards, fruit trees and horticultural products.

A sumptuous of colours, with alterations that only nature can make, combine a dreamy scenery for every visitor. The tourist exploitation of the island's natural beauties hasn't denatured this fairy beauty.
The island has a baronial glow. The old venetian buildings, the old and new Castle of the town, the palace of Saints Michael and George, the imposing churches, the square of Spianada, Pontikonisi, Achillion, Mon Repo, all reveal the glorious past, define the present and destine the island's promising future…
