A tour around the island of Corfu.
Corfu, with its capital Kerkyra, is a true gem in the Ionian Sea. The Corfiots are proud people with an intense love for their island; they are friendly and full of temperament. The pace on the island seems adjusted to a level where there’s no room for stress. As Kostas would say, “Siga siga”.”
“Siga siga” in Greek can be translated as “slowly slowly” or “take it easy”, emphasizing a relaxed attitude

While it’s quite an expensive country for a holiday or city trip, it’s definitely worth it.

It is an unspoiled paradise with volcanic landscapes, crystal clear water, lush green forests, and beautiful waterfalls. The Azores is also an ideal place to spot whales and dolphins and to enjoy delicious local dishes such as fresh fish and cheese.
