]]> The island of Corfu (Kerkyra) is situated at the northwestern part of Greece (only 5km from the Greek mainland). The island has a relatively enough rainfall, and thus there is a variety of plants. Green nature and plants such as olive trees and orchids create along with the clear blue sea a really wonderful place. The island of Corfu is often regarded as the most beautiful island in the Mediterranean Sea and is also called the Emerald Island. The highest peak is Mount Pantokrator, measuring 906 m.

Beaches
On the island you will find beautiful pebble and sandy beaches. The best beaches for swimming are mostly in the eastern part of the island. The beaches are gentle with a calm sea (the waves are nearly absent, since the eastern side is not open to the sea), while at the western part you can find rocks.

Climate
Corfu has the coldest climate of all Greek islands (in summer daytime temperatures are around 28 °C), which is pleasant in summer and suitable also for hiking and exploring the island. rare here in the summer of weak colliedwees arier
