Korfu

The town of Korkyra in Korfu

Korfu is a Greek island that is located in the Ionian Sea.

History

Classical antiquity

In antiquity, the Korkyraeans dedicated a bull statue to the Sanctuary of Delphi in Phokis following a "miraculous day" of tuna fishing.

After the events of the Peloponnesian War, the Spartan misthios Kassandra retired to Korfu for a vacation. She was found several months later by her friends Herodotos and Barnabas, who sought her for another adventure. The phony treasure hunt set up by Barnabas turned out to be a real threat as Kassandra discovered an Apple of Eden, which drained the power from the Spear of Leonidas. Barnabas later found the Apple and became corrupted by it, but fortunately Kassandra was able to deactivate the Piece of Eden and save her friend. She then took up the burden of hunting down other dangerous Isu artifacts across the Earth, and departed from the island.

Renaissance

Following the Ottoman invasion of Glarentza in 1460, the family of Manuel Palaiologos fled at first to Corfu, and later continued their escape to Rome.

In May 1510, the Mentor of the Italian Brotherhood of Assassins, Ezio Auditore, chartered a passage to Corfu on the ship Anaan at the port city of Bari in southern Italy.
