The Ionian Islands region

Corfu, or as it is known locally Kerkyra, is the northernmost island in the Ionian Sea & the westenmost part of Greece.

This beautiful island is densely covered with olive groves & cypruss trees, whilst fringed with idyllic beaches, coves & the crystal clear turquoise sea. Inland you can still find unspoilt, traditional villages where you can still encounter donkeys being used as transport.

Corfu is roughly 40 miles long & 20 miles across at the widest point. The highest peak being Mount Pantokrator.

With a typical Mediterranean climate, summers are hot & sunny & winters are mild & often rainy, so the island remains green all year round. In spring Corfu is well known for its abundance of wild flowers, including many rare orchids.

In the past Corfu has had many rulers & each has left it's legacy of buildings & culture. There are Ancient Greek & Roman archaeological remains, Byzantine Churches, Ventian mansions, French arcades & British Palaces to name just a few.

Corfu cuisine is steeped in history & tradition. It is neither spicy or bland, but rich in the flavours of the Mediterranean. Specialities consists of local ingredients found on the island.
