Corfu known as Kerkyra in Greek is a one-of-the-kind island. Defined by its unique cultural heritage and Italian-inspired architecture, Corfu combines the free-spirited Greek mentality with the ornate order of the West. 

Corfu, unlike the rest of Greece, never fell under Ottoman oppression. Due to the successive dominations of the Venetians, the French, and the British over the centuries, the island has primarily become part of the Western rather than the Mediterranean world. Their culture wielded a strong influence in the city, and it is this cultural heritage that is still preserved and highly praised among its citizens and visitors. Many innovative institutions that were introduced in Greek territory, were founded here, in Corfu. Some of them were the first Greek University (the Ionian Academy), the first Philharmonic Orchestra, and the First School of Fine Arts. The island is full of impressive architectural monuments, such as the Achillean Palace, the Esplanade, and the arcade of Liston. 

The high-capacity marina in the bay of Gouvia is located only 6 km away from Corfu town and 7 km away from the Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport. Here you will find essential services like a fueling station, repair service, and several cranes used for transporting and relocating ships. Corfu’s mild climate favors sailing trips from April up to October, especially on its east side.
