Hello all ,
My old hometown was New York City but now my new home town is Corfu, Greece and since little is known about is here's a little bit about it:
Corfu
the island of the Phaeacians
On
the Northern tip of the Ionian Islands we find a magical place where
the emerald mountains interweave harmoniously with the Adriatic Sea.
This mythical place is the cosmopolitan Island of Feakes also known
as (Pheacians) and more commonly known as Corfu, Kerkyra or Korfu.
Corfu a true crossroads between East and west of Greece but also
connecting Europe on the North and boarding with Italy. It is the
second largest island in the Ionian Sheathe largest being (Cephalonia).
Together with the Diapontia Islands Othonoi, Erikousa, Mathraki to
the northwest and then Paxos and Antipaxos to the southeast forms
its own prefecture.
Corfu is also surrounded by a number of small isles. The most
important of these is (Vidos)
(ancient ptychia) the old lazzareto and the alluring Pontikonnisi
and a picturesque church at Diapolos Islet ( just opposite of
Arillas).
This Island is one of natures work of art. A museum in itself. A
magical Island combning old with new, the classic with the
eccentric, art with everyday life. It is filled with landscapes of
unique beauty both in the mountains or next to the sea so full of
life with breathtaking underwater seascapes. This fabulous Island
isn't special because of it's beaches and greenery but rather for
the people who created it or were connected to it, prominent figures
that were important to both world history and the history of Corfu
itself.
People who love nature Corfu, is their paradise. They have a wide
variety of choices from nature hikes to having picnics or just
strolling through nature. It's a pure enjoyment. Last but not least
Corfu is not only known for a place of relaxation but also a place
to have a great time with family and friends with all the pleasures
of a cosmopolitan life.
The
main harbors are at Ypsos, Garitsa, salt lake of Chalikiopoulos,
Mantoukoios, which is also the Island's main point of anchorage.Some
other fishing ports are Acharavi, Benitses, Pleokastritsa, Sidari,
Agios Stefanos, Lefkimi, Kavos, Kassioppi and Petriti.
