Corfu is one of the most charming destinations in Greece and Europe, a crossroads in its long history between the world of the West and the East. An area of exceptional natural beauty with a strong cultural imprint. An island with unparalleled natural beauty and a coveted tradition that dates back to the depths of time and history.

Its geographical location, at the entrance of the Adriatic Sea, early on determined its course through time. It made it a point of communication and exchange of cultural currents, a sheltered harbor, a safe fortress, an important resupply hub on long commercial journeys. The Old Town of Corfu, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a hallmark of this very interaction, serving as an architectural example of global value that has, to this day, preserved its integrity and authenticity.

Everywhere on the island reflects the signs of the eternal local history, evidence of both material and intangible culture.
