Holidays in Corfu Town combine a maze of narrow streets, little shops, picturesque squares, street cafes, and beautiful architecture. Situated two miles from the airport, the town features a busy harbour, bustling streets, and architecture reminiscent of Venice and Naples. Strolling round the town, visitors will come across old mansions, beautiful squares, ancient churches, and the 16th-century fortress that dominates the town.
The Old Fort was built on a man-made and boasts spectacular views from the top. Corfu Town's narrow streets are bursting with shops, gold shops in particular, as well as those others selling an abundance of fresh local produce. The Liston Esplanade is a perfect place to unwind over a coffee after some serious shopping. The Palace of St. Michael and St. George was built by the British and can be found to the left of the Liston. There is also a good selection of museums and galleries to explore.
The town also boasts its own selection of beaches, but as a holiday destination the town is better suited to those seeking cultural, historical adventures first and sunbathing second. Holidays in Corfu Town offers a large choice of bars, restaurants and nightclubs. Visitors can dine in traditional tavernas, enjoy the lively bars, and dance into the early hours at discos.
