Corfu

Courtesy Corfu Imperial
Corfu is best explored by driving around and discovering small fishing villages and hidden beaches in the myriad coves and bays. Corfu Town is the cornerstone of the island, and it provides a rich overview of the British, French and Italian influence in its architecture, shops and restaurants. Corfu’s proximity to Italy accounts for the strong Italian influence, particularly in its cuisine and architecture—Corfu Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with neoclassical mansions, wide piazzas and three forts designed by Venetian engineers. Unlike mainland Greece, Corfu was never occupied by the Ottoman Empire but a large population of Venetians lived and worked here, and their influence is felt in Corfu’s culture.
