Pronounced YAH sahss, it means literally "your health".
A greeting for the day!
And Our Virtual Adventure through The Greek Isles begins!
Corfu. Although Mayes Southern Professor always referred to it as "Corfee" is is pronounced Kor-Foo.
It is the second largest island in the Greek Islands.
The Capital of Corfu is also called Corfu.
The Greek name is Korkyra and the island was named after the myth of Poseidon's (God of the Sea) marriage to Korkyra. After their marriage he was suppose to have brought her to this beautiful island. He then named the Island after his new bride.
