Corfu Municipality, Former municipality in Ionian Islands, Greece.

The Corfu municipality extends across the northern Ionian Sea, encompassing the main island and fifteen administrative units with diverse landscapes and communities.

The strategic position of Corfu made it a naval stronghold during ancient Greek times, leading to significant battles that influenced the start of the Peloponnesian War.

The Old Town of Corfu holds UNESCO World Heritage status, displaying a combination of Greek, Venetian, French, and British architectural elements in its buildings.

The municipality connects its different regions through a network of buses and ferries, with the main airport receiving international flights on the eastern coast.

The Nobile Teatro di San Giacomo di Corfu stands as the first theatre established in modern Greece, marking the beginning of the country's theatrical tradition.
