Located in the Ionian Sea, the Greek island of Corfu is the second largest of the Ionian Islands. Also called Corfu is the island's largest city and is home to the Ionian University. The island is popular with tourists who flock there to enjoy the island's excellent beaches and its mild Mediterranean climate. Surprisingly, Corfu is quite a green island, especially compared to other Greek islands. Hot summers combined with winter rains creates lush vegetation which is dominated by over 2 million olive trees.
Corfu town is Venice and Naples, with a touch of France and more than a dash of England. The maze of narrow streets in the town are dominated by the 16th century fortress, which is well worth exploring. Wandering around the city visitors will probably stumble across an old chapel or mansion or perhaps a secret garden. In the narrow streets radiating off from the Liston, visitors will find small shops selling everything you can think of. You will find craftsmen that are experts at designing and making Greek jewellery in gold. Coupled with competitive prices you may be tempted to take more than memories away from the island!
The island's port offers ferry services to a number of destinations, although the majority of services tend to depart to the Greek mainland.
Paxi is an island of Greece, in the Ionian Sea. In Greek mythology Poseidon created the island by striking Corfu with his trident, so that he and wife Amphitrite could have some peace and quiet.
Although possibly inhabited from prehistoric times, the Phoenecians are traditionally held to have been the first settlers on Paxi. The name is believed to be derived from Pax which meant slate in their language.
The Romans ruled the island from the 2nd century BC, and during the Byzantine period and Middle ages it was constantly attacked by pirates. After various rulers and Crusaders had passed through, the island was taken by the Venetians at the end of the 14th century.
During the Napoleonic wars the Ionian Islands were taken by the French, a Russo-Turkish alliance, and finally by the British, who established the Ionian Union in 1815. In 1864, together with the rest of the Heptanese, Paxi was ceded to the Greek state.
