Corfu is the principal town of the Greek island of Corfu, which lies in the eastern Ionian Sea off the coast of Albania. The town has around 36,000 in habitants.
The island is rich in history, both from Greek mythology, with its connections to Poseidon, God of the Sea, and Homer’s Odyssey, and from its history of upheaval and conquest due to its strategic position.
The legacy of the latter can be seen in the form of two castles that protected the city of Corfu.
Today the town acts as a focus for the island’s thriving tourist industry and is the main site of the Ionian University.
