A bold tribute to the Emerald Island of the Ionian and Venetian Garden of Greece where Corfu, the northernmost of the Ionian Islands lying off the northwest coast of Greece at the entrance to the Adriatic, is the most verdant and lushly beautiful of all the Greek islands, its extraordinary density of ancient olive trees, cypress spires, and subtropical vegetation the legacy of Venetian rule from 1386 to 1797 during which the Republic of Venice planted millions of olive trees and transformed the island's landscape into the green Mediterranean paradise that distinguishes it from the drier Aegean islands, where Corfu Town, the capital inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as a remarkable example of a fortified Mediterranean port city shaped by successive Byzantine, Angevin, Venetian, French, and British layers of governance, enchants visitors with its Venetian arcaded Liston promenade, its French-style Old Fortress and New Fortress, and the extraordinary Achilleion Palace built for Empress Elisabeth of Austria, and where the island's association with the Durrell family, immortalized in Gerald Durrell's My Family and Other Animals, has made Corfu one of the most beloved literary landscapes in British writing.
