About Corfu
Corfu (Kerkyra) is the northernmost of the Ionian Islands, sitting in the Ionian Sea between Greece and Albania. The island's unusual history — ruled by Venice for four centuries, then briefly by France and Britain before joining Greece in 1864 — has left a distinctive architectural and cultural legacy. Corfu Town, the island's capital, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with Venetian fortresses, French arcades and a cricket pitch that is a legacy of British rule.
The island is greener than most Greek islands, with olive groves, cypress trees and lush vegetation covering the hills. The coastline is varied — sandy beaches in the north (Sidari, Roda, Kassiopi), dramatic cliffs and pebble coves in the north-east, and the popular resort beaches of Benitses, Moraitika and Kavos in the south.
Paleokastritsa on the west coast is one of the most beautiful spots in Greece — a series of small coves with crystal-clear water, surrounded by cliffs and olive groves.
