Corfu in Greece – The Lovely Island in the Ionian Sea
Corfu, due to its strategic position, was always exposed to attacks and wars. In the ancient era, it was under the domination of Byzantine and always attacked by the pirates. Between 14th to 18th centuries, Corfu was under the rule of the Venetians and repelled Ottoman attacks three times, and they never could occupy this island; then Napoleon seized Corfu, and after that was attacked by England and was occupied for a while, and then it became a part of Greece. This history has led to a wide variety of different works and monuments in Corfu.
