    Awaiting Your Return From Shore | Located along the western side of 
    the Greek mainland, Corfu, or Kerkira in Greek, is one of the six Ionian 
    Islands. Its unique scenery, with gentle green hills and luxuriant southern 
    flora, makes it one of the most beautiful of all the Greek islands. From the 
    14th through 18th centuries, Corfu was occupied by the Venetians, who 
    introduced the Roman Catholic religion and established Italian as the 
    official language. Evidence of this long Italian rule remains, especially in 
    the architecture. Many of the beautiful buildings of that time have survived 
    a number of earthquakes and can be seen in Corfu Town. 
      
        | Shopping. Look for leather goods, jewelry, 
        ceramics, antiques and olivewood carvings in the many shops in Corfu 
        Town. If purchasing antiques, be sure to check with the store about 
        rules concerning the export of such items. 
        
        Cuisine. Fresh seafood is always a good choice. Sitting at one 
        of the sidewalk cafés around Spianada Square and sipping a cold drink or 
        an espresso makes a nice break from sightseeing and shopping.
