📍 Destination Overview
Corfu lies in the Ionian Sea off northwestern Greece, the lushest of the Greek islands and the one most shaped by centuries of Venetian, French and British rule. The UNESCO-listed Old Town of Corfu (2007) is the world's only surviving complete Venetian fortified town. Picture-postcard bays, dramatic coastlines, the Church of Saint Spyridon and enduring literary associations give the island its distinctive, layered character.
