    My father's family perished in a concentration camp. A few years ago, I took a Mediterranean cruise which stopped in Corfu. I wandered the streets of the island. Signs led me to the historic synagogue. As I stood in front of the wall filled with the names of the Jews of Corfu who were sent to the camps, an old man standing next to me pointed up at the names and then pointed at his chest. He did not speak English and I did not speak Greek. He then took my hand and led me out the front door. Since he had a kind face and warm eyes, I let him lead me across the street from the temple to his shop. In front of the old wooden counters, he turned and opened a drawer. Out came an old, yellowed box. He opened the box and took out an old, worn set of striped clothes with a star of David sewn onto the front.I touched the shirt and felt a feeling of immense sadness that my family had also worn similar clothes as they were led to the "showers." This old man had no idea of my family's history. This is one of those moments in life that stay with you forever.

      Thank you for sharing such a touching story. My parents were from Albania and during the war, Jews fled to Albania and the people hid them in their homes protecting them with their lives. It is said the Albanian people never gave up one Jew to the Germans. I wonder if there are any Albanians in Corfu?

      So what? She's explaining about the most recent years under British and Italian domination. And the influence is clear. Nobody is saying that Corfu isn't Greek. But look at those buildings, totally North-Eastern Italian look-alike copies. Should we discuss that Sevilla has been Spanish for centuries and there's no sign of Islamic colonial time? Let's be serious.

    Hello, Corfu has been a Greek island since the antiquity!!! It has always been Greek but unfortunatlly after a period of time it was conquered by foreiner rulers like the Venicias but the population was still Greek. The architecture of the island is far from Venician is actually Neoclassical which comes from ancinet Grecce and the Romans copied it as well. Venician architecture is actually a mixure of Byzantine/Constantinupole, Arabic and Gothic mixed together! Which is completlly diferent from the neoclassical paradise of corfu. Even some ionic/spiral features present in some churches that are influenced/presetn in the Italian renesesance churches they derived from ancient Greek features which you can see in our ceramics in our museums. one such example of the ionic use can be seen in the museum stoa of Attalos in Athens... other than that your Chios vlog with your mom was very toucking !

      It's funny the Greeks ruled over the Venetians and then the Venetians ruled over the Greeks.

They failed miserably.

    I’m sorry but she sounds so cocky and arrogant. All the little remarks like, “ohhh all the beautiful buildings that the Italians gave you” and every comment on how Corfú seems “less Greek” than all the other islands, yet there’s Kefalonia, Rhodes, Crete, and all these other cities and islands that help define Greece’s European heritage. But she wants to sound cool and knowledgeable for all her Brit viewers that don’t have a clue about Southern Europe unless awfcorceee they dooo dawlinggg. Personally I find this kinda disrespectful along with all others that try to make Greece seem “less European” than it is, disregarding the fact that Greece is the birthplace of western civilization..

      The Ionian islands are special and aren't meant to be Italian.
      This girl's not a fully Greek but raised with the ideology that Greece is less European and something else.

When the military realised I was a Kiwi, I was released with sincere apologies. After a few days living in the Plaka, I joined a group of others sailing to Hydra where military rule was more relaxed.

The only time I passed by Curfu was when I took the Minoan ship from Venice to Athens, a 12 hours journey & I love it. It's not a typical cruise ship, but it offer cabins with different pricing, 3 diff restaurants, a disco :) and lots of space to roam for sunrise/sunset. The bottom level was for cars, cargo trucks etc. European bring their cars, dogs, backpackers paid a low price to sleep on the deck. My German cabin mate got off at Corfu for a spa retreat for few days. I would take this ship again in the future, it's so relaxing to sail along the Adriatic Sea.

We must receive Sinless Jesus sincerely to be God's child(John 1:12).After we get saved by grace through faith in Christ, if we truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will obey Jesus(John 14:15). Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe the gospel." Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "There's a real hell. It says in Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly, and unbelieving, & abominable, and murderers, and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone..."

    Wow!! This entire video was spectacular in every way!! The people of Corfu are wonderfully appreciative of their lives & customs! The attribute the brothers gave to the 1,000’s of olive trees’ for lasting & continually contributing to the islands’ inhabitants was amazing!! I’ve always wanted to go to Corfu, now even more so!! Thank you fir a lovely show!!!

    It wasn't just the silk road that brought the spices - many of the spices came from Southeast Asia and would have likely gone through the Indian Ocean, through Yemen and Oman, etc.

    Starting with the influence and heavy tourism of Brits does not make a place desirable to other experienced travelers. That's usually a warning sign not to go somewhere. I love both the architecture of Venice and the venetian territories, but they don't look the same, and that doesn't look like Piazza San Marco. There aren't square green shutters like that anywhere in San Marco. Finally, there is only ONE 'A' SOUND in Italian and in the world pasta.

      @@idakardhiqi6176 you need to search up what the pelasgians and the Illyrians were. The illyrians were a number of disunited barbaric tribes, defeated both by the Greeks and Romans in early antiquity. Their language and culture is unrecorded, while they first appeared as a “term” in Greek writings. The pelasgians are the pre-historic, pre-Hellenic populations that inhabited the lands that would then become Greek. Albania was ruled by, ancient Greeks, Romans, eastern Romans, Venetians, French, British and finally Greeks. Albanians are absent form the islands’ history.
