Corfu is one of the most cosmopolitan Mediterranean destinations weaving a powerful spell on its visitors.Its rich multi-cultural heritage, its historic monuments, its stunning natural landscape, its crystal clear seas, and its excellent weather all year round explain the Popularity of Corfu as Tourist Location.
Corfu (Kérkyra), unlike the rest of Greece, never fell under the Ottoman oppression. Due to the successive dominations of the Venetians, the French and the British over the centuries, the island has primarily become part of the Western rather the Ottoman world. Their culture wielded strong influence in the city: it was here in Corfu that the first Greek University (the Ionian Academy), the first Philharmonic Orchestra and the First School of Fine Arts were founded.
