This article is about the Greek island Kerkyra known in English as Corfu or Corcyra. There is also a place named
Corfu, New York. Corcyra or Corfu (
Greek: Κέρκυρα, Kérkyra,
Ancient Greek Κέρκυρα or Κόρκυρα,

Greek island in the
Ionian Sea. It lies off the

Albania, from which it is separated by straits varying in breadth from 3 to 23 km (2 to 15 mi), including one near

Corfu Prefecture, and includes twelve of the sixteen
municipalities or communes in the prefecture and over 96 percent of its population (2001 census). (The four excluded municipalities are
Ereikoussa,
