Corfu is one of the very finest islands to visit in the
world. A key reason for this is of course that it is utterly steeped in Greek
history. Take the significant archaeological sites in Palaiopolis, including
the ruins of ancient temples, for example. Medieval castles are also dotted all
across the island, with two particularly imposing ones surrounding the capital,
thus giving it the name ‘‘the Kastropolis’’ (‘’castle city’’). It is also worth
remembering that Corfu city’s old town was recently added to the UNESCO World
Heritage List.
Throughout the island, there is a strong Venetian influence
in the architecture, owing to its four-century occupation. A notable example of
this is the San Giacomo theatre (the first Greek opera house). There is also an
abundance of natural beauty, from the golden sandy beaches to the gorge at Agni
Bay, the extensive wildlife and forestry. High-end bars, boutique shops and
Michelin star restaurants are also never too far away. There really is something for everyone!
