The boat yard in Mandouki, Corfu town provides shore storage for
yachts. With so many yachts for sale in the Ionian Corfu is an ideal
location for selling in Greece.
With a growing number of live aboard blue water yachts for sale in
Greece it is also the base for the recently introduced seaplane
service with scheduled flights linking Corfu, Lefkada, Keffalonia
and Patra providing a quick, easy and economical way to island hop.
Corfu is the greenest Ionian island, having the highest annual
rainfall in Greece and is also the nation's major vegetable garden.
It was Homer's 'beautiful and rich land', and Odysseus' last stop on
his journey home to Ithaka. Shakespeare reputedly used it as a
background for The Tempest. In the 20th century the Durrell
brothers, among others, have extolled its virtues.
Corfu also has Greece's only cricket ground - the game was imported
to Corfu by the British during their 49 year hegemony of the island
from 1815 to 1864. It has remained firmly entrenched in Corfu ever
since.
