About Corfu Island
Corfu has played an important role in the history of Greece since ancient times. The island was visited by millions of travelers, historians, poets, painters. Fascinated by its special beauty, with its lush olive groves and turquoise waters, some stayed for months and others their whole lives. Among the celebrities who passed by our island, from the ancient Greek Odysseus to the modern James Bond, the English writer Gerald Durell has a special place in our hearts. A family friend of the Aegli Hotel used to eat in our restaurant, swim in the sea in front of our hotel and talk to our father many mornings during his stay at Strawberry villa nearby.
