Corfu Old Town

The old town grew up between two fortresses over four centuries of Venetian rule, and in 2007 it joined UNESCO's World Heritage List. It is best seen on foot, slowly, with a coffee under the arches.

Why go

Few towns in Greece keep their old centre so whole. Narrow streets called kantounia open onto small squares, washing hangs between pastel houses, and the Spianada, the great square by the sea, fills up in the evening.

What to do

  • A coffee under the arches of the Liston
  • The Old Fortress and its view over the town
  • The church of Saint Spyridon, the island's patron saint
  • The Museum of Asian Art in the Palace of Saint Michael and Saint George

Good to know

  • About 10 minutes from the airport.
  • We drop you at the Spianada and collect you when you are ready.
