Travelstick The Greek Island Corfu

Corfu Greece

The Greeks call the island Kerkyra, named after a nymph who was the daughter of the river god Asopus. Poseidon, god of the sea, fell in love with Kerkyra and they made love on the island, giving birth to the race of the Phaeaceans. The crystal clear waters around Corfu are a gift from Poseidon to his children.


The Old Venetian Fortress in the center of Corfu Town dates back to the Byzantine Period when the town was called Koryfo (meaning peaks). From the 6th to the 13th century residents lived within the walls of the old Fortress. Today Corfu has over 30,000 residents and the old town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
