Corfu was not given the name of the
"Emerald Island" for no reason. The greenest of all Greek islands, Corfu's
natural beauty is hiden beneath a cloak of emerald green, with a mountainous skyline
pluging into the bluest of blue waters. Elegant architecture, sunblessed beaches,
enchanting nightlife and fine cuisine all play their part in attracting visitors from all
over the world. With a welcome as warm as the sun, the renowned reputations the Greeks
posses for their unique and instictive hospitality makes any visitor, young or old, feel
more than at home. The island has something to offer everyone. Corfu Town itself is
a contrasting combination of old and new existing side by side in perfect harmony. |
