Corfu (Korfu) is one of the most
beautiful Greek islands, and is called Kerkyra (Kerkira,
Korkyra) as well.
According to Greek mythology, the island got its name from
the daughter of the river god Asopos, Nymph Korkyra, who
was carried away by Poseidon. In Homer's Odyssey we read
that Odysseus found shelter here in Corfu at the end of
his wanderings and received the care of King Alkinoos and
his people Pheaces and his daughter Nafsika.
Corfu, the island of endless natural beauty, the island of
song and music, of unending inspiration, a combination of
the cosmopolitan and the traditional. The island will
leave the visitor with unforgettable memories, excite him
with unparalleled images and touch chords in his soul as
he pays homage to the culture of the seven islands. How
can we put in few words all the elements which make up
this earthly paradise, this place which has been so
generously blessed by God and which has been written about
by so many illustrious writers and poets, like Lawrence
Durrel among others.
Fantastic beaches and a beautiful landscape (Corfu is
called the green island). The exquisite island of ancient
Pheakon entirely meets the desires and the needs of even
the most demanding visitor.
