Also known as Kerkyra, located in the Adriatic sea is the beautiful island
of Corfu. With seasonal breezes and a warm Mediterranean climate, your Corfu holidays will be everything but boring. One of the first things that will impress you as your ferry enters the city port of Corfu is the Old Fortress. Initially built in the fifteenth century by the Venetians to protect the island from pirates and other none welcome guests, it now houses a gift shop and the Byzantine Collection. The Corfu public library is also housed in the large building to the front of the fortress, which was previously home to the barracks. During the summer, various cultural activities take place at the flatland on the eastern side of the Fortress. If history is what you crave, your Corfu holidays has lots to offer from 585 BC, in the Gorgona-Medusa pediment which is considered as a prize piece at the museum. |
