Though ruled by Venetian Doges, Turkish sultans, and Napoleonic invaders, today Corfiots are outspokenly Greek. Corfu is the greenest of the Greek isles, where the vineyards and olive orchards thrive among rugged mountains. Admire the medieval Palace of Phrourio, the 17th century icons in St. George's church, or the shady solitude of Mon Repos park.
