Located in the Ionian Sea, the Greek island of Corfu is the second largest of the Ionian Islands. Also called Corfu is the island's largest city and is home to the Ionian University. The island is popular with tourists who flock there to enjoy the island's excellent beaches and its mild Mediterranean climate. Surprisingly, Corfu is quite a green island, especially compared to other Greek islands. Hot summers combined with winter rains creates lush vegetation which is dominated by over 2 million olive trees.
Corfu town is Venice and Naples, with a touch of France and more than a dash of England. The maze of narrow streets in the town are dominated by the 16th century fortress, which is well worth exploring. Wandering around the city visitors will probably stumble across an old chapel or mansion or perhaps a secret garden. In the narrow streets radiating off from the Liston, visitors will find small shops selling everything you can think of. You will find craftsmen that are experts at designing and making Greek jewellery in gold. Coupled with competitive prices you may be tempted to take more than memories away from the island!
The island's port offers ferry services to a number of destinations, although the majority of services tend to depart to the Greek mainland.
The Italian city and port of Brindisi is located in the Apulia region of the country and lies on the Adriatic Sea coast. The city, like many of the towns on the Adriatic Sea coast, has a history that has strong links to the countries that lie across the Adriatic to the east. The city's large natural harbour is one of Italy's most important ports and is today the port of departure for ferry services departing to the Balkans and to Greece, although in Roman and Greek times and during the Middle Ages the port had many other purposes.
Popular attractions in the city include the Castello Svevo which was built by the Emperor Frederick II and has a trapezoid plan with large square towers. Also in the city is the 15th century Aragonese Castle which was built by King Ferdinand I of Naples, and is located on S. Andrea island which faces the city's port.
From the city's port, ferry's operate to destinations including Paxi, Corfu, Igoumenitsa, Zakynthos and Patras.
