Corfu Off The Map
This is the photograph which, when published on the front cover of The Corfiot Magazine of December 2008, prompted a local man - born on the island - to comment 'No way in the world is that place in Corfu!'. It's one of innumerable spots on Corfu which remain unrecognised, and are Metaphorically and sometimes literally, off the Corfu map.
Corfu Trail
A long-distance footpath which runs the length of the island. Approximately 220 km long and taking around 10 days, it meanders through all the island's rural municipalities and avoids heavily developed areas.
Flowers of Corfu
During an eight-day walk along the length of the Corfu Trail 150 different flowers were photographed by local author John Waller. The same flowers can be found in abundance across the island and are mainly in bloom from March to early June, and again in September and October.
Natural history
There is a wealth and diversity of flora and fauna in Corfu. For those keen to observe the beauty of nature at close quarters, the island is a paradise for botanists, ornithologists, zoologists and photographers.
Panayiopoula Church, Corfu Town
This small Orthodox church is devoted to the Virgin Mother, the Odigitria. The Odigtria icon is the essence of the church and probably dates from the time the church was built, which is believed to be before 1650.
