In-Depth Information
On Corfu, the Venetian legacy is mixed with that of the
British
, who imposed a
military “protectorate” over the Ionian islands at the close of the Napoleonic Wars,
before ceding the archipelago to Greece in 1864. There is, however, no question of the
islanders' essential Greekness: the poet Dhionyssios Solomos, author of the national
anthem, hailed from the Ionians, as did Nikos Mantzelos, who provided the music,
and the first Greek president, Ioannis Kapodhistrias.
