Holiday Rentals in Corfu

Corfu is a Greek island in the North Ionian Sea. One of the Ionian islands group, it lies to the west of Albania. The northeastern edge of Corfu lies off the coast of Sarandë, Albania, separated by straits varying in width from 3 to 23 km (2 to 14 miles). The southeast side of the island lies off the coast of Thesprotia, Greece. Its shape resembles a sickle, to which it was compared by the ancients: the concave side, with the city and harbour of Corfu in the centre, lies toward the Albanian coast. With the island’s area estimated at 592.9 square kilometres (146,500 acres),  it runs approximately 64 km (40 mi) long, with greatest breadth at around 32 km.
