The Venetian Knights, the British Aristocrats, the French Revolutionaries and the rest of the western European elite not only adored the Ionian Islands, but fell madly in love with their Queen, the incomparable island of Corfu.
Praised for its beauty and culture by billions of visitors, from antiquity to the present day, Corfu is a true paradise on earth.
THE MYTH BEHIND OUR NAME
According to mythology Poseidon fell in love with Korkyra, Aesop’s daughter, and brought her to the island, giving it her name. The result of their love was a baby boy named Phaeax who later founded the kingdom of the Phaeacians.
The construction genius, culture and hospitality of the Phaeacians was identified with their beautiful island that was later named Corfu (Koryfo > Corfu), as we, PHAEAX Premium Properties Development, aspire to be identified for the same reasons in the field of luxury real estate development.
WHERE ULYSSES MET THE PHAECIANS
Ulysses, Odysseus in Greek, the most iconic traveler of all times, enjoyed a multi-star hospitality by the Phaeacians in Corfu, his last stop before returning to Ithaca, his homeland.
THE "GATE" TO A PARADISE ON EARTH
Meeting point of different civilizations like those of Ancient Greece, Byzantium, Venetian Knights, Nobles and Kings of the British Empire, and Napoleon’s the Great, Corfu is an unparalleled mosaic of Culture and History.
The city of Corfu is the largest preserved medieval city in Greece and one of the most beautiful in the Mediterranean.
Wander around the Historic Centre of the Town with its unique architectural structure: Venetian-style high-rise houses, Naples’s style narrow streets (cantounia) with laundry spread between their balconies and numerous small squares. A fascinating scenery where the once aristocratic Venetian and British lifestyle meets the charm of a popular harbour’s neighborhood!
CORFÙ E NON PIÙ!
Like an irresistible femme fatale, Corfu enchanted visitors with its legendary beauty and made those who kept coming back say CORFÙ E NON PIÙ!
It is a local expression that has its roots in the Venetian Era and is still used to signify that “nothing compares!”
THE REFUGE OF THE SAD EMPRESS
The island of Corfu also stole the heart of Sissy, the “sad Empress” of Austria-Hungary. After searching around Europe, Corfu’s climate proved to be a lifesaver for her health. Thus, the Achilleion, a beautiful palace and famous museum today, became her personal Sanctuary. From there she set out on her horse to explore the secret magical spots of the island and enjoy the company of the “commons”, its inhabitants, who adored her.
BLUE, GREEN, WHITE - ALL UNDER THE SUN
Apart from “queen” Corfu, to whom everyone bows, there are six more main islands in the Greek Ionian Sea, like green precious ornaments, waiting to be explored by you: Paxos, Ithaca, Kefalonia, Zakynthos, Lefkada and Kythera.
They will enchant you with their culture, their architectural tradition, their Mediterranean climate, their pristine nature and their happy inhabitants.
The turquoise waters of the archipelago mingle with the green shades of the cypress trees and the silvery glow of the olive leaves in endless beaches with fine golden sand or picturesque bays with small white pebbles.
WHEN TASTE MEETS BLISS
The Ionian cuisine is a magical kaleidoscope of flavours, ingredients and aromas. A mouthwatering variety of traditional Greek cuisine with Italian influences and modern international cuisine awaits you in exclusive, multi-star gastronomic venues.
You will love the authentic fresh fish tavernas in the picturesque fishing villages with their small harbours, as well as the small restaurants with local delicacies in the picturesque squares of mountainous medieval villages.
