Corfu Tours

Corfu is a Greek island in the Ionian Sea. The island's history is laden with battles and conquests, indicative of Corfu's turbulent position in a historical vortex lasting until the modern period, at which time unification with modern Greece from 1864 made the island's history one with that of the mainland, with no further foreign intervention. The old city, having grown up within fortifications, where every metre of ground was precious, is a labyrinth of narrow streets paved with cobblestones, sometimes tortuous but colourful and clean. Corfu contains a few very important remains of antiquity such as: the Halikiopoulo, the tomb of Menekrates, Poseidon, Cassiope, the Achilleion. Corfu is mostly planted with olive groves and vineyards and has been producing olive oil and wine since antiquity.
