Legendary Corfu is a lush and romantic island, written about by Homer in his famous Odyssey. The island’s history is full of battles, indicative of Corfu’s turbulent position that lasted until modern times with unification with modern Greece in 1864.
Today, Corfu offers a combination of cosmopolitan and time-honored Greece. Palace of St Michael and St Georgiou, the Liston Arcade, the Reading Society, the Catholic cathedral, the Maitland rotunda and the Ionian Parliament are just some of breathtaking buildings you’ll be able to view. In addition to its flower-strewn countryside and Adriatic-style villages, Corfu has splendid coastal scenery and gorgeous secluded beaches. Legend has it that if you swim in the Canal d'Amour, a passage created by smooth rocks, your soulmate will soon be found.
