Send Flowers to Corfu, Greece

Greener and more Italianate than most Greek islands, Corfu owes its look to centuries of Venetian rule and a shorter British chapter. Corfu Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, has the arcaded Liston, the wide Spianada where cricket is still played, two fortresses and the church of Saint Spyridon, the island's patron. Half the men on Corfu seem to be called Spyros, and his name day on 12 December is a major occasion.

The island has one of the largest British resident communities in Greece, along with German, Dutch and Italian homeowners, so flowers often travel between friends and relatives in different countries. Corfu Easter is famous: on Holy Saturday clay pots are thrown from balconies in the old town. The Ionian University adds a student population in winter.

Send flowers to Corfu by ordering before midnight Greek time; a florist on the island delivers next day, Monday to Saturday. For villas in villages, add clear directions and a phone number. Sundays and main public holidays are not delivery days.
