Carnival in Corfu
Corfu Carnival: A Venetian Masquerade in the Heart of Greece
Long before the solemnity of Easter, Corfu erupts in a riot of colour, music, and satire. The Corfu Carnival is a unique three-week festival, blending 400 years of Venetian elegance with spirited Greek fun. From the satirical floats of the Grand Parade to the costumed promenades in the Old Town, Carnival in Corfu is an unforgettable cultural spectacle.
