Corfu is a beautiful big island, the bridge connecting the sensuous Orient with the rational West.
It is situated at the Northwestern end of Greece surrounded by the dark blue Ionian Sea. On the east side of the island you can see the coastline of the Greek Mainland. The name of the island in Greek is “Kerkyra”, whereas in the European langauages it is called Corfu, a false pronunciation of the word “Koryfo”, the medieval name of Corfu island. It is the homeland of several important personalities of the political and intellectual life of Greece. The great pro of Corfu is its culture. Once there, the visitor feels like living between past and present. This happens not only because the remains of the past are still active in the everyday life of the locals, but also because the people living on the island lead their own way of life which seems to emerge from the opera. To cut a long story short, if you come
to Corfu you will feel the magic of the place: Corfu is the island of fun, of insouciance, of music and songs, of culture
