Summer holiday destination on this island off the West Coast of Greece, which was devastated by an earthquake in 1955 now rebuilt, but with an eye to maintaining the original look of the buildings. It was here that the film Captain Corelli's Mandolin was filmed. Its laid back style iIllustrates lazy days under cooling breezes by warm deep turquoise Mediterranean Sea, surrounded by green hills covered with vegetation.
