Corfu Island - the last bastion of Byzantium
14.99 €
The island of Corfu is the northernmost of all the Greek islands. Among other Greek islands and islands, Corfu is unique in that it is the only one on which Turkish invaders have never set foot. To be more precise, they did, but it brought disgrace to the formidable army of the Sublime Porte. Many Orthodox shrines have been preserved here, even though the Latin-Venetian occupation (XII-XVIII centuries.) and led to the emergence of its peculiarities of life of the local church ... Its stony shores have seen a lot of people! Corfu was owned (or wanted and tried to own it) by Greeks, Diadochi - heirs of Alexander the Great, Illyrians, Romans, Normans, Crusaders, Sicilians, Anjouans, Venetians, Turks, French, British ... The storming of Corfu in 1799 and its liberation from the French occupants forever linked the history of the island with the name of the most glorious Russian Admiral Fyodor Fyodorovich Ushakov.
But the history of the island is so diverse that it is ready to offer a story of interest for every taste.
