Corfu Greece is one of the most favorite destinations in Greece. This island has a unique history, which attracts many tourists to the island. If you head towards the Corfu town, you will see amazing Greek architecture. In a nutshell, you can behold history in the architecture of Corfu and some of the brightest examples include the palace of Mon Repos and the City Hall, and Venetian-Roman style architecture.

The mild Mediterranean climate and the high rainfalls during winter, Corfu is full of abundant and verdant vegetation and wild plants, phenomenon that makes it one of the greenest islands in Greece. The island is mountainous and its northern center lays Mount Pantokrator, the highest mountain of Corfu, which rises to an altitude of 914 meters.

Several flat areas, plains, two lakes and a couple of rivers complete the beautiful landscape. Corfu was the first island to welcome and open its doors to tourism and has since become an important international tourism center attracting many visitors and offering well-equipped and modern touristy facilities.

Despite the fact that tourism is flagrant in the coastal areas, it hasn't spoilt yet the villages that have managed to keep their authenticity and their local colors. The economy of Corfu is mainly based on tourism but a small part is still related to the agriculture, the inhabitants still producing high quality olive oil and wines throughout the mountainous villages.
