It is really hard to describe Corfu in a few words, almost impossible. But we will dare to try, by mentioning specific points and interesting aspects of this remarkable island.
Corfu is where the heart of every music lover, nature admirer and culture addict belongs to. With a long tradition in music and a cherished musical heritage you don’t need a map for this island but an extended stave.
Perfectly located in the Ionian Sea, Corfu island -also known as the island of Faiakes- is an important crossroad between the west and the east.
Inhale beautiful images of an utterly picturesque landscape, discover the island’s traditional villages and take advantage of the endless options for excursions and sightseeing.
