GREECE CORFU Isl.

Corfu or Kerkyra (Greek: Κέρκυρα, romanized: Kérkyra, Ancient Greek: Κόρκυρα, romanized: Kórkyra, pronounced [kórkyra]; Medieval Greek: Κορυφώ, romanized: Koryfó; Latin: Corcyra) is a Greek island in the Ionian Sea. It is the second largest of the Ionian Islands,[2] and, including its small satellite islands, forms the margin of the northwestern frontier of Greece. The island is part of the Corfu regional unit, and is administered by three municipalities with the islands of Othonoi, Ereikoussa and Mathraki. [4] The principal city of the island (pop. 32,095) is also named Corfu. Corfu is home to the Ionian University.
