About
Corfu:
Corfu, the island of endless
natural beauty, the island of
song and music,of unending
inspiration, a combination of
the cosmopolitan and the
traditional. The island will
leave the visitor with
unforgettable memories, excite
him with unparalleled images and
touch chords in his soul as he
pays homage to the culture of
the seven islands.How can we put
in few words all the elements
which make up this earthly
paradise, this place which has
been so generously blessed by
God and which has been written
about by so many illustrious
writers and poets.
Corfu is the most
northernmost and second largest
after Cephalonia of the Ionian
islands. Its area covers 592
square kilometers and the length
of the island is 217 kilometers.
It is mountainous with the
highest mountain being Mt.
Pantokrator (914 meters) but
there are several flat areas
,the largest being the Ropa
valley. There are two lakes ,
Korission and Antinioti, and
four small rivers often dry in
Summer at Potamos, Sidari,
Messogghi and Lefkimi. The
climate is mild without being
bitterly cold in Winter and the
Summers are humid. The heavy
rainfall and the high humidity
encourage the profuse growth of
vegetation. Therefore the island
has a lot of greenery, even in
Summer. It is the most densely
populated area in Greece after
thew great urban centers of
Athens and Thessalonika.
According to the latest census
figures, the population of the
island is 105.000 with 35.000
people living in the town. The
economy of Corfu depends mainly
on the tourist industry but
there are also related
industries and services that
depend on tourism. Agricultural
production is not large. The
chief products are olive oil,
wine, vegetables and the unique
type of Kumquat fruit.
