Corfu belongs to Eptanisa and it is the northern of the large islands of the Ionian Sea. Its shape is long and resembles a scythe. It is a big island, as it is the second largest in the Ionian Sea and the seventh largest in Greece.
Corfu is a popular tourist destination as it has many tourist resorts with dozens of heavenly beaches. There is no way you will manage to visit all the beaches of Corfu, regardless of the number of days you stay on the island. Furthermore, Corfu is only one hour away from the Greek mainland through the port of Igoumenitsa, with an even easier access from north Greece thanks to the new Egnatia highway.
The town of Corfu is scenic and it hosts many attractions, like Pontikonisi, Liston, Spianada (the largest plaza in the Balkans), old churches, impressive mansions, fortresses, various museums, and much more.
Corfu is different from most Greek islands due to its land, which is flat at the most part. It has a lot of vegetation, especially at the north side, while the is a developed road network covering the entire island.
