HISTORY

Homer mentions Corfu as the island of Phaeakes, where Odysseus has spent quite a long time, charmed by its natural beauty and the hospitality of its inhabitants.

Ever since Corfu's history is very rich, full of conquerors who left their traces behind, most of them being very well preserved. Thus, you will be able to see ancient Greek and Roman remains, old churches, museums, medieval villages and Venetian forts.

You might as well be interested in knowing that Corfu was chosen in the past by the ex royal family of Greece as their permanent vacation place.
