Pontikonisi at down

Corfu is one of the Mediterranean's most beautiful tourist resorts. Everyone knows the view of its Pontikonisi (Mouse island) which is probably one of the most famous in Greece. It's history, together with the natural beauties of the island have for many years given it the reputation of an ideal spot for holidays. ars, discos, restaurants, souvenir shops, the casino, crowds of people on the streets day and night, idyllic bays with sand beaches- that is Corfu in the summer.
A further charm is the human presence: carefree children playing around, housewives at their high windows and a smiling Corfiot in
every step. Visitors are fortunate who happen to be on Corfu for Easter. The second of the resurrection bells is accompanied by a rather more unusual noise: the breaking of jugs and other pieces of earthenware pottery which the Corfiots throw down from their balconies.
This custom is associated, traditionally, with the joy of Our Lady and Mary Magdalene when they first discovered that the tomb of the resurrected Christ was empty.
