Corfu was named after the nymph Kerkyra, daughter of Aisopos. According to the myth, Poseidon, the god of the sea, fell in love with the nymph Kerkyra, kidnapped her and brought her to this island. The archeological excavations have proven that the island was inhabited since the paleolithic era. According to mythology, Kerkyra was the island of the Phaeacians, where Ulysseus debarked during the journey of his return to Ithaca. In ancient times, Corfu was a major trade center inhabited by the Phoenicians. Due to the existence of trade with all cities in the Adriatic Sea, Corfu became a strong naval force and an important colonial city. During the Peloponnesian War, Corfu asked for military assistance from Athens for an important battle against Corinth. The alliance between Athens and Corfu lasted a century, until the Macedonians conquered the island on 338 B.C. and assumed control over Corfu. From 300 B.C. onwards, Corfu was successively attacked and conquered by Spartans, Illyrians and Romans, who remained on the island from 229 B.C. to 337 A.D. After the split of the Roman Empire, Corfu was united with the Eastern Roman Empire. During medieval times, the island was frequently attacked by pirates and barbarian armies, such as Goths or Saracens. Corfu was afterwards ceded to the Normans, and subsequently to the Venetians. The era of the Venetian Rule was a thriving period in the history of the island. Corfu was afterwards occupied by the French, English, Turks and Russians, and in the 20th century, Corfu took part in both World Wars and suffered great losses.
The Old Fortress of Corfu is among the most impressive fortifications in Europe, and also the first thing visitors see as the ship approaches Corfu, due to its location in the east side of the city, on a rocky promontory entering the sea. This fortress was built by the Venetians in the 15th century, on the site of a former Byzantine castle that connected to the shore by means of a mobile wooden bridge. In 1819, the British replaced this bridge with the current fixed pathway. The entrance to the fortress is via Corfu's famous Spianada square, which is also among the largest squares in Europe. This fortress stood as symbol of Venetian Rule over the Ionian islands for more than four centuries. Now, it is one of Corfu's most remarkable landmarks.
The New Fortress of Corfu, also mentioned as Fortress of Saint Mark (San Marco), was built by the Venetians during the period from 1576 to 1645 on a location of strategic importance near the Old Harbor of the city of Corfu. The construction of this impenetrable fortress was completed immediately after the notorious Turkish invasion of the island. The design and costruction of the Fortress was undertaken by the famous Italian military engineer Ferraute Vitteli. This fortress played a pivotal role for the protection of the city of Corfu and its residents. The entire fortress is a complex network of compartments and galleries. The fortress's ramparts were built by the French and subsequently by the British colonial rulers, who completed the remaining construction works.
The site of Kanoni, which features the church of Panagia Vlacherna, and the Pontikonisi (mouse island), are two of the most famous and much-photographed sites in Corfu. Kanoni is actually one quarter of the city of Corfu and located just a few kilometers away from its center. It was named after an old cannon that sits atop the verdant hill of Kanoni, which is full of luxury hotels and local residential buildings. If you descend a few steps, you will reach the small church of Panagia Vlachera, built in the 17th century. The interior of this wonderful chapel is decorated with an impressive wood-carved altarpiece and beautiful frescoes. Outside the church, visitors can board a fishing boat and reach Pontikonisi, which is 5 minutes away. This lush island was named after its tiny size, and at its center, you will find the 13th-century church of Pantokrator.
Pastitsada is a traditional Corfiot dish, whose ingredients are capon or veal, plenty of red wine, spices, and pasta. The exact origin of this dish is not clear. However, it is believed that pastitsada, as it currently stands, was first developed sometime in the 15th century. In its most basic version, pastitsada is plain capon stew, which is why it was considered a rural dish of the poor. In fact, people traditionally used sour wine - which was no longer suitable for drinking - just so they wouldn't have to throw it away. The modern version of this dish became dominant after the Venetians became the rulers of Corfu.
Sofrito is one of the most popular dishes in Corfu and easily found in practically any tavern or restaurant you choose to visit. Its name refers to the dish and its cooking method - "frying on low heat". The recipe for this dish has been inspired by Venetian cuisine, although the Corfiot version is uniquely different, since it features veal and garlic being fried together over low heat, and afterwards combined with white wine, parsley, olive oil, salt, and pepper, which provide the qualities that render this dish unique.
Bourdeto is yet another well-known dish of Corfu. In practice, bourdeto is a fish soup invented by fishermen, who used any fishes they hadn't been able to sell, just to avoid throwing them away. In fact, fishermen used to "revive" the slightly more stale fishes by seasoning them with many spices, mostly sweet and hot paprika. The modern version of bourdeto consists of whole fishes, flavorful and slightly piquant spices, a large quantity of sauteed onions, and topped with lemon juice, white wine and olive oil.
