One of the most attractive cities in the whole of Greece, with its mixture of architecture and cultures. Beautiful views of the old town from the top of both forts. Nearby Garitsa bay is worth a walk along where you will find the greeks playing boules and traditional tavernas. Jewellery shops abound and bargains to be had! Tried to compare it to other main towns in Greece, none compare. The city is located in the middle of the island's east coast.

Corfu town is built on a small promontory which divides the town into two parts. Despite the damage it suffered from bombing raids during the second world war, it still retains a strong Venetian style.
The large and beautiful Spianada square is the main focal point of the new city. On the east side of Spianada square on a small promontory, rises the Old Fort which is separated from the town by a defensive moat known as the Kontrafosa. The fort was built by the Venetians in order to reinforce the defence of the city. Within the Fort is the church of St. George, one of the most beautiful churches in corfu island.

Following the passage with the tourists shops, just behind the Liston, the church of Agios Spyridon is approached along a street by the same name. The church is very impressive and for visiting inside you should be suitably dressed. St. Spyridonas is the patron saint Corfu island. The saint casket is paraded through the streets of the town four times a year: On Palm Sunday, Easter Saturday, 11 August and first Sunday of November. If you take a drive out of Town to Kanoni you will see Mouse Island (Pontikonissi) with it famous little chapel that is so well known from all the Corfu postcards. If you love aircraft, this has to be one of the best places anywhere to see them close up, landing and take off from corfu Airport
