Greece: The Lure of the Ionian Islands and Epirus in Springtime; The Call of Corfu

Epirus in May, from The Ionian Islands and Epirus, A Cultural History, Chapter 3, The Call of the Islands 

I particularly like the passage by The Rev. T. S. Hughes (May, 1815), from Travels in Greece and Albania, 1830.
