Corfu- Greece 希臘科孚旅遊

Magnificent, verdant Corfu, or Kerkyra (ker-kih-rah) in Greek, was Homer’s ‘beautiful and rich land’. Mountains dominate the northern half where the coastlines can be steep and dramatic and where the island’s interior is a rolling expanse of peaceful countryside. Stately cypresses, used for masts by the Venetians, rise from shimmering olive groves (also a Venetian inspiration). South of Corfu Town the island narrows and flattens. Beaches with sometimes oppressively thick development punctuate the entire coastline. Development is most intensive north of Corfu Town and along the northernmost coast. Corfu was a seat of European learning in the early days of modern Greece. While the rest of the nation struggled simply to get by, the Corfiots established cultural institutions such as libraries and centres of learning, and many major Greek figures like Ioannis Kapodistrias, the first head of independent Greece, hailed from Corfu. To this day, Corfiots remain proud of their intellectual and artistic roots. This legacy is visible from its fine museums and cultural life to its high-calibre, Italian-influenced cuisine. 克基拉島（希臘語：Κέρκυρα，拉丁化：Kérkyra；古希臘語：Κέρκυρα／Κόρκυρα），英語稱科孚島（英語：Corfu），伊奧尼亞海島嶼，屬希臘克基拉州。科孚島面積580平方公里，是愛奧尼亞群島中第2大的島嶼，隔科孚海峽與大陸相望。此島是愛奧尼亞大學的所在地。英國女王伊莉莎白二世的丈夫菲利普親王在此島出生。 克基拉島曾先後被羅馬帝國、拜占庭帝國、熱那亞人和威尼斯人所管治。其中威尼斯共和國曾統治島嶼由1401年至1797年，克基拉島時稱「威尼斯的門戶」，鄂圖曼土耳其曾多次侵略該島，如1537、1571、1573和1716年土耳其海軍和陸軍就曾圍困島嶼，但均以失敗而終。當時克基拉島可被視為西方文明抵抗鄂圖曼的堡壘。 1864年英、法、俄三國和希臘簽訂倫敦條約，正式將克基拉島在內的愛奧尼亞群島主權歸還希臘。 現今克基拉島是一個熱門的旅遊勝地。在2007年，島上克基拉市的老城區因國際文化紀念物與歷史場所委員會的推薦而被指定為世界文化遺產。 Read more: http://www.lonelyplanet.com/greece/io...
