Nestled between two great fortresses and kissed by the Ionian Sea, Corfu Old Town (Kerkyra) is a living tapestry of history, culture, and Mediterranean charm. Recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is one of Greece’s most enchanting destinations — a place where Venetian grace, French flair, and British touches blend seamlessly to create a town unlike any other.

Wander through its narrow cobbled alleys (kantounia), admire elegant mansions and pastel façades, and listen to the echo of church bells mingling with the laughter from bustling cafés. Every corner of Corfu Town tells a story — of conquerors and creators, sailors and scholars, locals and lovers who have called this island home. Whether you visit for an afternoon or stay for a week, Kerkyra has a way of capturing your heart.

Corfu Old Town is more than a destination; it’s an experience that lingers in the heart long after you’ve left. It’s the gentle hum of life in sun-dappled squares, the taste of local wine shared among friends, and the timeless beauty of a city that has embraced travelers for centuries. Here, history and hospitality intertwine effortlessly — from gazing out across the Ionian Sea atop ancient fortress walls, to sipping coffee beneath the graceful arches of the Liston, to wandering the enchanting maze of kantounia where every turn whispers a story. It’s easy to see why so many fall under Kerkyra’s spell — and why they always return.

The New Port, welcoming ferries from mainland Greece and the Ionian Islands, lies only a short stroll away, while the central bus station connects you to every corner of the island, from tranquil mountain villages to the golden coast. Though parking within the historic centre is limited, convenient car parks near Spianada Square and the Old Fortress make it easy to explore the town’s treasures on foot.

And yet, we encourage you to wander aimlessly too — to lose yourself in the narrow backstreets where Corfu’s true magic reveals itself around every corner.

The heart of Corfu beats strongest around a table of good food and warm company. The town’s dining scene is a delicious mix of traditional tavernas, elegant rooftop restaurants, and lively wine bars, each serving a taste of the island’s soul.

Savour pastitsada (slow-cooked beef in rich tomato sauce), sofrito (tender veal with garlic and wine), or bourdeto, a spicy fisherman’s favourite. Sit beneath the arches of the Liston Arcade, modelled after Paris’s Rue de Rivoli, and watch the world pass by over coffee or cocktails. As twilight falls, the streets come alive — musicians play, locals gather, and the soft glow of lanterns turns the town into pure magic. Use the Corfu Travel Guide to find all the palces to eat in the town.

Corfu Old Town invites you to wander at your own pace through a living tapestry of history and charm, where every turn reveals another story from its Venetian past.
