Corfu (Greek: Περιφερειακή ενότητα Κερκύρας) is one of the regional units of Greece. It is part of the region of the Ionian Islands. The capital of the regional unit is the town of Corfu. The regional unit consists of the islands of Corfu, Paxos, Othonoi, Ereikoussa, Mathraki and several smaller islands, all in the Ionian Sea.

Administration

[edit | edit source]

Since 2019, the regional unit Corfu is subdivided into four municipalities:[2][3]

Prefecture

[edit | edit source]

As a part of the 2011 Kallikratis government reform, the regional unit Corfu was created out of the former prefecture of Corfu (Greek: Νομός Κερκύρας).[4] The prefecture, created in 1864, had the same territory as the present regional unit; it was divided into the provinces of Corfu (capital Corfu city) and Paxos (capital Gaios)
