Corfu is situated only 1 nm off the coast of Albania and the
Greek region of Epirus and offers
gentle green uplands in the south and rugged limestone hills
in the north, rising to 906 m in the double peak of
Mt Pantokrator.
The references to Corfu from Homer to
the present day praise the island as a lush green paradise
spinning a soothing spell over all who visit it. In an
age of package holidays the Corfu magic is continuously
battered by jets winging in with yet more holidaymakers -and
far, far more go to Corfu than to the rest of the Ionian -
so it is surprising to find there are still charming and
beautiful places on the island. |
