Corfu is the second largest island of the Ionian Sea, located at the north west coast of Greece. The island’s history goes back to the beginnings of Greek Mythology, where it is mentioned as “Korkyra” and its inhabitants were known as Phaiakes, in Latin Phaeaciani. Corfu’s nickname is The island of the Phaeacians.
Corfu was one of the first places in Greece that noted touristic development. In 2007, the city’s old quarter was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List and nowadays it is one of the most popular tourist destinations across Europe.
