Corfu
The visitor that will wander around the city of Corfu, the
suburbs, the communities and the greater area of the Municipality
of Corfu, will have the chance to discover the 'dowry' that nature
and man gave to Corfu.
The 'Old City' recalls past ages; the European influences are visible everywhere
and harmoniously coexist, giving to the city a special color. There are no mosques
and minarets in Corfu. No stamp of Asiatic occupation can be found on the island.
Here that Europe meets Greece and the nature ungrudgingly spread hundreds the
shades of green and blue, the Corfiot Civilization developed with significant
particularities that make him stand apart.

In the high summer, the narrow streets of the city, named
cantunia, are crowded, but for the visitor there is always
a quiet place
in the narrow alleys or under the shaded squares to enjoy a
chilled ginger beer.
The Corfiot housewives suspend their laundry over the streets and underneath,
lost in the labyrinth of the alleys, the visitor discovers the workshops of silversmiths
and woodcarvers.
Some parts of the city and the greater area of the Municipality of Corfu are
modern, but everywhere Venetian, French and British traces can be found to remind
us that the Turks never conquered Corfu.
