Corfu<\/strong> is a corner of paradise, the mountainous Ionian island of green landscapes, golden beaches, crystal-clear waters and traditional villages. Its historic centre is a labyrinth of romantic streets among old Venetian-style buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The places of worship are of historical and cultural importance, witnesses to the different domains that have left their footprints in stone here. The most important the Church of St Spyridon<\/strong>, a stone's throw from the Liston Avenue<\/strong>, the patron saint of the island who saved it from the 17th century plague and the 18th century famine. Its bell tower is very similar to that of the Church of San Giorgio dei Greci in Venice, built around the same time, but with an unmistakable red colour that is very common in Eastern churches because it symbolises the blood of martyrs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The island's cathedral, of Baroque construction, is dedicated to the Armenian Theodora and houses the relics of the saint, wife of Theophilus Basileus of the Eastern Roman Empire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corfu is the ideal choice for families with children for its endless beaches and wonderful climate, for young people looking for fun for its lively nightlife, and for nature lovers for its hidden coves and wooded hills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During your holiday, you will learn about local traditions, enjoy the sea and the sun, be fascinated by the sunsets and appreciate the local cuisine.<\/p>\n\n\n
