Corfu – A Notebook
The Ionian Islands stand at the gateway to Greece, with Corfu its gatekeeper. For so much of its history Corfu stood as protector of the Adriatic and its Venetian rulers, but now the island has turned its gaze south towards its Greek homeland. On reaching Corfu, something happens to the light, as if some celestial switch has been flipped, changing everything…
Corfu – A Notebook is a series of snapshots of places, the people and culture of those who inhabit this beguiling island and some of its neighbours in the Ionian group. More of a travelling companion than a guide, this is the fourth of Richard Clark’s books about the Greek Islands.
Richard Clark is a writer, journalist and editor who has worked on an array of national newspapers and magazines in the UK. He is also the author of The Greek Islands – A Notebook, Crete – A Notebook and Rhodes – A Notebook.
