Yes. There are numerous species of Shark in the waters around Corfu. Including the fabled Great White (Carcharodon carcharias), but try not to worry, actual attacks on humans are very rare. There have only been 31 attacks on humans in the Meditteranean in 200 years. There is a breeding population of Great Whites in the area around Eastern Mediterranean, the Adriatic and Ionian Sea (around Sicily, Malta, the Ionian Islands). Possibly using Blue Finn Tuna as a food source. In 1987 Alfredo Cutajar casught a female Great White (all the largest Great Whites are female) off the coast of Malta, which was origanlly claimed to be 7.13 m (23.4 ft) long. However, are careful photo analysis the true size was calculated being closer to 18.3 ft (5.6 m), still a colosul specimen. Great Whites in this area seem to be larger than average, a specimen that killed a swimmer off Keratsini, Piraeus in 1948 was reported to be 6.4 m (21ft long).

Sand sharks, also known as sand tigers shark or ragged toothed sharks, are lamniform sharks of the family Odontaspididae (or sometimes - but incorrectly - referred to as Carchariidae). They are found on both sides of the Atlantic coast, but most notably in the Western Indian Ocean and in the Gulf of Maine. There are four species in two genera. Sand sharks are the only known shark to surface for gulps of air. They store the air in their stomachs which allows them to float motionless in the water as they hunt for prey.
