Corfu (Kerkyra in Greek) is a Greek island in the Ionian Sea. It is the second largest of the Ionian Islands,and, including its small satellite islands, forms the northwesternmost part of Greece. Corfu is among the most beautiful and popular islands of the country.

Corfu's capital has been officially declared a Kastropolis ("castle city") by the Greek government. In 2007, the city's old quarter was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List, following a recommendation by ICOMOS. There are many sites worth visiting in Corfu Town, like Spianada square and the famous Liston. The museum of Asian Art and of course the two impressive fortresses. The countryside also offers a lot to see and includes many traditional villages and holiday spots!
