Card Player Cruises Mediterranean Cruise
Corfu, Greece, is a beautiful island that boasts magnificent beaches,
soaring cliffs, vistas beyond description, and a pastoral landscape
reminiscent of Costa Rica. Settled in 740 BC, Corfu has had a rich
and varied history as well as many rulers and conquerors. There
are museums, cathedrals, and wondrous architecture to enjoy in this
laid-back and friendly village. We chose to spend the day with a
hired driver who drove us around much of the island allowing us
the freedom to see what we wanted and "having it our way"
so to speak. Many of our cruisers visited one or more of the world
famous beaches. Glyfada and Paleokastritsa are but two of the most
popular. At the latter, a monastery sits quietly above the beach
almost in another world and time. As Corfu borders the country of
Albania, it was easy to see across the narrow inlet that separated
the two countries just how different the "other side of the
street" could look. |
