CORFU AND MAINLAND GREECE

Corfu and Mainland Greece is a pictorial and descriptive journey through the history and beauty of the Greek paradise Island of Corfu before we sail away on a trip to the mainland of Greece to visit some of the most important historical sites of ancient Greece. The Island of Corfu is one of the Ionian Islands. It is just off the West coast of Greece and is one of the most Northern Ionian Islands. Many are surprised to learn that the coast directly opposite Corfu is not Greece, but Albania. The narrow channel between Corfu and Albania, in places, is less than 2km. The sea on the East and North of Corfu is shallower whereas the sea on the Western Corfu coast is very deep. Corfu is the second-biggest of the Greek Ionian Islands and one of the most popular Island in Greece. Corfu almost resembles the shape of a bent leg (with a little imagination) in the Ionian Sea. The Island enjoys a mild Mediterranean climate along with excellent beaches making it a popular destination for holiday makers. It is very green compared to other Greek Islands
