Awaiting Your Return From Shore

Located along the western side of the Greek mainland, Corfu, or Kerkira in Greek, is one of the six Ionian Islands. Its unique scenery, with gentle green hills and luxuriant southern flora, makes it one of the most beautiful of all the Greek islands. From the 14th through 18th centuries, Corfu was occupied by the Venetians, who introduced the Roman Catholic religion and established Italian as the official language. Evidence of this long Italian rule remains, especially in the architecture. Many of the beautiful buildings of that time have survived a number of earthquakes and can be seen in Corfu Town.

Shopping. Look for leather goods, jewelry, ceramics, antiques and olivewood carvings in the many shops in Corfu Town. If purchasing antiques, be sure to check with the store about rules concerning the export of such items.
Cuisine. Fresh seafood is always a good choice. Sitting at one of the sidewalk cafés around Spianada Square and sipping a cold drink or an espresso makes a nice break from sightseeing and shopping.

Other Sights
Corfu Town. The main square, or Spianada, covers a park-like area between the town and the Citadel. Explore the narrow streets of the Old Town. See the Town Hall and the 300-year-old Church of Saint Spyrídon.
The Royal Palace and Museum of Asian Art.
On the north side of the Spianada stands the former Royal Palace. On the upper floor the Museum of Byzantine and East Asian Art offers stunning exhibits.
The Archaeological Museum. Just before the Corfu Palace Hotel is this museum of artifacts discovered on Corfu.
The Old Fortress. The impressive 14th-century Venetian structure is now used as a popular venue for concerts.
Golf.
Corfu Golf & Country Club. The Corfu Golf Club has been praised by many as one of the best kept in Europe. The magnificent greens of Penncross Bent combine with several lakes and meandering streams to make an attractive picture against a backdrop of high hills.
