Corfu (Kerkyra
in Greek) is the second biggest island of Greece
and one of the most vegetated. It is standing between
the heel of Italy and the west coast of mainland
Greece.
Corfu was one of the first Greek islands to attract
mass tourism during the 1960s and is since very
popular with Athenians and tourists from all over
the world. Despite its high tourism, Corfu still
has unspoiled beaches and authentic inland villages.
The capital of the island is particularly beautiful,
full of elegant mansions and narrow alleys.
The best beaches of the island are located
on its western coast. Paleokastritsa is the largest resort
of the coast and the most developed; nevertheless it is a
paradise-like place with sand and pebbles and a verdant backdrop.
The sandy beaches of Glyfada, Pelekas and Myrtiotissa are
quitter and offer a very beautiful scenery. The lovely beach
of Agios Gordios is very popular among backpacker and has
crystalline waters.
Lake Korission with its fresh water is a habitat for wading
birds and is one of the least spoiled beaches.
