The historic centre of Corfu town: a scene out of a classic film
Strongly influenced by the Venetians, the French and the English, Corfu Town is a brilliant base for exploration. Unesco has declared Corfu’s old Town a world heritage site. Who couldn’t be impressed by the stately buildings, with neoclassical influences, or fail to be moved by the likes of the Palaces, the gorgeous parks, the Liston Arcade, Ionian Parliament and the Kapodistrias family’s mansion? In the famous alleyways of Campiello, with washing lines hanging above you, and to see where the legendary empress Sissi has mounted stairs from the harbour when visiting her summer resident ‘Achillion Palace’ , you will feel like a star in a period movie.
