OLD TOWN
At the heart of the island lies Corfu’s Old Town — a UNESCO World Heritage site, where Venetian grace meets quiet Mediterranean charm. This is not a town to be rushed.
Stone alleys (“kantounia”) twist softly between arcades and arches, revealing hidden squares, weathered shutters, and balconies draped in bougainvillea.
The town’s past remains present — in the shadow of its twin fortresses, along the grand Spianada square, and beneath the arches of the Liston promenade.

Museums preserve Byzantine and post-Byzantine stories, while cafés spill into walkways with quiet ease.
Just beyond the center, landmarks like Pontikonissi and the Achilleion Palace extend the invitation further — reminders of Corfu’s layered history and royal past. Elegant, lived-in, and full of quiet splendour, Old Town is not just visited — it’s wandered.
