Corfu is one of the Greek islands closest to Italy, situated in the Ionian Sea. It is connected to the main Italian ports on the Adriatic and to mainland Greece.
Among the tourist offerings, from an environmental perspective, there is the Paleokastritsa beach. From a historical and cultural point of view, it is significant Kerkyra Old Town, Unesco World Heritage site since 2007, where there are historical architectural traces of Venetian and English origin. Also worth seeing are churches and monasteries and in particular: the Church of San Spiridione, in the historic centre of Corfu, and the Vlakerna Monastery, opposite the airport. Coastal towns and villages have more developed their tourism economy. Among these, the small Sidari village, on the northern side of the island, and the hillside community of Pelekas, a popular hippy destination in the 1970s.
