Corfu, with its neoclassic and Italian-style buildings, its colonnaded arcades, elegant pavement cafes and the Espianade-once a Venetian parade ground - is a mixture of cosmopolitan sophistication and relaxed Greek simplicity.

Like the rest of the Ionians, Corfiotes love festivities. Whatever the occasion, everyone joins in with equal gusto, such as a procession in honour of St. Spiridon, patron saint of Corfu, whose image is paraded through Corfu town in Easter Week and on August 1.
