Areas of interest * Corfu Town It is most unusual to be recommending a location of botanical interest that lies in the centre of large towns but in this particular case one of the most productive and reliable of orchid sites on the island is to be found in Corfu Town. Some 200 metres south of the main bus station in Theotoki Square and adjacent to the prison can be found an oasis of tranquility and open woodland that is the British Cemetery. The curator and his small staff take great pride in maintaining the grounds in a way that is compatible with both a reverence for its deceased inhabitants and also the prosperity of its botanical ones. The site boasts a species list that is almost certainly larger than any other equivalent area on the island. Ophrys romolini, Ophrys attica, Ophrys helenae, Ophrys cornutula, Ophrys reinholdii, Ophrys mammosa, Anacamptis albanica, Anacamptis collina, Dactylorhiza romana, Neotinea lactea, Neotinea ustulata, Neotinea tridentata, Orchis simia, Serapias cordigera, * Pantokrator At 914 metres this is Corfu's largest mountain, being situated in the far north corner of the island. From the village of Perama a road winds up the mountain to a point within sight of the summit. Orchids can be found plentifully at many sites along the road.
