CORFU TOWN

The capital of Corfu, namely Corfu town is a magnificent destination to visit all year round. Considered one of the most elegantly designed cities of Greece,  towns’ edifices showcase supreme beauty. Influenced by the conquerors that reigned the island over the years, Corfu town encompasses traces of the English, French and Venetian architecture. Elegant mansions, French-style flowered squares, imposing fortresses, majestic palaces and quaint houses offer the visitors a melange of fine images, to take in Corfu’s splendor. 

The city has a long history yearning to be shared. Once offering shelter to Homer’s Ulysses and a refuge for Poseidon to accommodate his love with Amphitriti, Corfu is known since the cradle of Greece’s ancient history. The ubiquitous lush greenery and fragrant gardens caress the senses, encompassing the astonishing regional flora. Situated in a promontory, the town is a great perch, opening out to breathtaking vistas to the ever-sparkling deep blue of the Ionian sea. 
 
During your carefree strolls to the lovely alleys, head to the Old Town that lies on the northern side, among the new fortress and the Esplanade Square. The Old Town is a UNESCO world heritage site, while the square is the largest in the Balkans. Comprising the French garden architecture, the Spianada Square -as it’s called by the locals- features a broad range of trees and flowers where you can enjoy laid-back moments. The inspiring setting also displays austere buildings, monuments and an old Venetian fortress which set the boundary for the beginning of the modern town.

Built during the French occupation, Liston building is a landmark edifice that adorns the western side of the Esplanade. Drawing from Paris’ Rue de Rivoli, the arched terrace resembles brilliantly the French architectural influences. There you can find little cafes to rest after a long day of sightseeing.

Corfu town has something for everyone, from restaurants and cafes to intriguing shops, every corner hides an amalgam of unique beauty!
