Greece
Greece is THE land of ancient sites and architectural treasures: the Acropolis in Athens, the amphitheater of Epidaurus, the reconstructed palace at Knossos, the belly button of the cosmos at Delphi, fallen columns galore on the sacred island of Delos, and frescoed Minoan palaces on Crete. But don't expect a visit there to be a sober study of the ancient world, the Greek propensity for partying dates back to Dionysus. Then there are 1400 islands to explore. Greece is much more than what you were taught at school or the predictable summer image of glorious sunsets and sandy beaches.

Corfu Island
Corfu is one of the Ionian Islands which nestle off the West side of the Greek mainland. The island is 36 miles long and at its widest part, the north, 15 miles wide. It is one of the greenest of the Greek islands with thousands of olive trees carpeting the landscape and also one of the more rural, sleepy islands. Recently added to UNESCO's World Heritage List, the old town, with its Venetian forts and neo-classical housing was inscribed as a fortified Mediterranean port town of high integrity and authenticity. A very elegant and charming capital with the Venetian style that reminds very much of Italian towns plus Medieval Castles and monasteries in the inland and villages are surrounded by verdant vegetation and wonderful beaches around the island, such as Paleokastritsa, Agios Gordis, Nissaki and others.
