The Municipality of Central Corfu and the Diapontian Islands, utilizing funding through the European programme WiFi for Europe (WiFi4EU), provides the opportunity to residents and visitors to enjoy free internet access through the WiFi4EU wireless network.

The project concerns the implementation of the relevant action of the European programme “WiFi4EU – Promoting internet connectivity in local communities”, by the Municipality of Central Corfu and the Diapontian Islands, within the mechanism CONNECTING EUROPE (CEF) – WIFI4EU.

The European Union’s initiative WIFI4EU is a support scheme for providing free wireless access to indoor or outdoor public spaces (for example public administration buildings, schools, libraries, health centers, museums, public parks, squares). The initiative will bring communities closer to the united digital market, give access to the users at the Gigabit community, improve digital literacy and complement the public services provided in these areas. The funding can be used to install a brand new public Wi-Fi network, upgrade an existing public Wi-Fi network or extend the coverage of an existing public Wi-Fi network.
