--- End quote ---

We all know that corfu isn't in the med but its not the first or last time you will hear it said.

Rover:
But, if you are making a serious programme about Corfu, would you establish in which sea the island was?

D@G:
I think your splitting hairs for the sake of an argument tbh rover. It's pretty obvious you don't agree with the making of the documentary on Corfu from your posts in this thread.

Im honestly surprised if this is the first time you have heard of Corfu (or any Greek island) being in the Mediterranean. We all know it is in the Ionian Sea, but the whole region, France, Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Albania, Croatia, North Africa etc is very often said to be Mediterranean.

Jimbo:
The Ionian, Adriatic, Aegean and so forth are just subdivisions of the Mediterranean, just as the North Sea is really a kind of county in the Atlantic.

Corfu is in the Mediterranean.

Does anybody have a definition of where the Adriatic/Ionian boundary is? The northern part of Corfu may perhaps have escaped the rule of Epiros!

Georgie2002:
Oh my goodness there are so many more serious bloody awful things happening in the world - are we really getting in a tiz about a documentary getting a fact wrong?!?! I'm sure it's happened before and will happen again!

It's just a harmless programme about an island we all love, now enjoy it!!
