Corfu

Our final look at Greece is the island of Corfu, situated off Greece's western coast. Corfu, now recognised as part pf Greece, has a long and colourful history. The forts on the island bear testimony to the struggles between Greece, Italy and Albania over the years. The largest town on the island is also called Kerkyra or Corfu Town, it has been around since the 7th century BC, and it is an extremely pleasant place to visit.

Corfu Town looks more like an Italian or French town, rather than Greek, resulting from the various influences over the years. It seems to be a shoppers paradise. There are lots of jewellery shops especially, and they seem to have reasonable prices if you are up for a bit of haggling. The old town is quite well preserved, and is made for walking, as the narrow and winding streets are too tight for vehicles.

Outdoor restaurants abound, and the food we had in Corfu, as in the rest of Greece, was very good and quite cheap. Seafood is plentiful, and the fresh fruit and vegetables are of high quality.
