#1 Where is the island of Corfu?<\/h2>\n

The island of Corfu (Greek: Kerkyra) is located in the Ionian Sea<\/strong>, a part of the Mediterranean Sea. The northern part of Corfu is located at the level of the Albanian mainland. Corfu does not have any large neighboring islands in the immediate vicinity. Only the island dwarfs of the Diapontian Islands (including Othoni) in the north, as well as Paxos and Antipaxos in the south are accessible for islandhoppers.<\/p>\n

Corfu is one of the most popular islands in Greece<\/strong>. The island has long been a popular holiday destination, even Sisi, the former Austrian empress, had built a summer residence here, called Achilleion Palace<\/a>. Today, 100,000 people live on Corfu, also known as Kerkyra. Greece connoisseurs particularly appreciate the lush vegetation.<\/p>\n

#2 Does Corfu have an airport?<\/h2>\n

The Corfu International Airport<\/strong> is located in the center of the island. Kerkyra International Airport CFU (also known as Ioannis Kapodistrias) is a real curiosity due to its location. The runway was built as an artificial island in a lagoon. Airplane fans can marvel at the take-offs and landings of the jets from a jetty.<\/p>\n
