CORFU, A HISTORIC ISLAND WITH VENETIAN GRACE

Nowadays, due to the unprecedented habits we experience due to the outbreak of COVID-19, many of our habits have unfortunately changed. At the click of a button, for example, we can issue a certificate, play various online games, such as NetBet slots, or browse a museum online. So, until we are given the opportunity to travel again, among other things, to the beautiful islands of Greece, we are content with virtual tours, which of course in no way replace the live experience of a trip. So today, we will travel imaginatively to the island of Faiaki, Corfu.

Corfu is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and historic islands in Greece. The cosmopolitan diamond of the Ionian is characterized by very dense vegetation and is an island inextricably linked to both Greek culture and tradition for over 3000 years.
First of all, when traveling to Corfu, one gets a taste of Italy as the island refers to the picturesque Naples with the laundry spread out on the opposite windows. A characteristic feature of Corfu Old Town, which is also considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are the picturesque alleys and cobbled streets.
In the well-preserved neoclassical mansions one can distinguish the Venetian and English influences. Venetians, French and English dominated the island, leaving their own mark but also their own heritage in architecture, cultural attractions and of course gastronomy.
Strolling in the city one can try the traditional products and local delicacies such as liqueur, kumquat or the famous gingerbread that are identified with Corfu.
He can then enjoy his coffee in secular Liston, built by the French and built in the style of the Royal Gardens of Europe. Spianada is considered the largest square in the Balkans and one of the largest in Europe. Today, Liston Galleries are one, if not the only, one of the most secular places on the island and are the place where most people gather in winter and summer, as it is full of cafes, restaurants and restaurants in general.
To this day, this beautiful Ionian destination attracts the hearts of travelers who arrive from all over the world just to visit and admire it up close.

The island of Faiak is suitable for many activities. From relaxing on the golden beaches and swimming in its crystal clear waters to hiking in the green hills and walking in the picturesque alleys enjoying the local delicacies.
Basically, Corfu definitely has something to offer to everyone. On the one hand, the families choose it as a destination for the hospitality and warmth of its locals. On the other hand, couples visit it for its romantic, fairytale capital. Finally, the "explorers" distinguish it for the enchanting landscapes and the variety of activities it offers.
Blessed by nature, with its slopes full of pines, cypresses and eucalyptus, which end in its clear blue waters, Corfu is without a doubt the dream of every nature lover.
