Corfu (Kerkyra in Greek) is an island located off the northwestern coast of Greece at the border with Albania. Green hills, with charms including amazing blue colors of the sea and hundreds of olive trees. Rule by the Venetian Republic, Britain, France, and even Russia has also left it with no shortage of atmospheric, historic buildings.


And of course it's also the home of 119 beautiful beaches, on which you'll also find great water sports opportunities. The most popular beaches of Corfu are Paleokastritsa, Nissaki, Glyfada, Kouloura, small Avlaki ,and Agios Gordios. The island's strands are famous for extremely clean water (many designated Blue Flag beaches), and its waters provide some extraordinary diving, to get abundant eyefuls of coral reefs and colorful sea life, as well as paragliding, (definitely my own top favorite), an exciting chance to see the island's coast from above, and deep-sea fishing expeditions.  

Corfu is also a home to beautiful and unusual plant and animals such amazing orchids like ophrys bertolonii and ophrys carmeli ssp attica.We have opportunity to see  Balkan Green lizard at basking in the sun ,Hermans Tortoises  walking around in the grass and in the sea the boat chasing the dolphins .Corfu is the greenest island of the Greece, full of beautiful plants , animals and one of the best places for unforgettable summer vacations .
