Corfu
The mythical island home of Poseidon & site of Odysseus’s shipwreck in Homer’s The Odyssey
Welcome to one of the most diverse, verdant and fascinating Greek islands – the seventh largest and the setting of seveal myths and legends. It is on Corfu’s shores where Odysseus was shipwrecked and sent on his way, and where the god of the sea, Poseidon, is said to have settled.
Corfu Town is cosmopolitan, charming and friendly. You can easily lose yourself here as you explore the narrow alleyways, soak up the atmosphere and meet the locals at one of the many cafes, bars and restaurants. You may be surprised by the Italian feel, largely thanks to the Venetian architecture, but you won’t be surprised by the Greek warm welcome.
