UNESCO Venetian old town, verdant hills and the Ionian Sea
Corfu (Kerkyra), a jewel of the Ionian Sea, is one of the greenest and most romantic of the Greek islands. Its Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a gem of Venetian architecture with lively lanes, colourful palazzi and elegant esplanades. The island enjoys the highest rainfall in Greece, giving it lush vegetation: cypresses, olive trees and kumquats cover its hills. Its beaches — Paleokastritsa with its crystal-clear waters and secret coves, Glyfada, the Canal d'Amour — are among the most beautiful in the Ionian Sea.
