Corfu,
the wooded isle of the Phaeacians, Odysseeus' last stop on his long
journey home to Ithaki, is the best known and most visited of the
Ionian islands.
It owes its sophistication and charm to the meshing
of the different civilizations (Corinthian, Roman, Byzantine, Venetian,
French and British) that have occupied the island, and to the natural
beauty with which it is so abundantly endowed. Many poets, from
Homer to Shakespeare, and writers like the Durrell brothers have
mentioned Corfu.
On this cosmopolitan island, you'll be able to
combine relaxation with good times and a full nightlife, for Corfu
is an international tourist center which can satisfy the demands
of the most sophisticated visitor.
