Some parts of the Town and the wider area of the Municipality of Corfu may be contemporary, but one can see everywhere traces of the Venetian, French and English rule of the past centuries, like the famous Liston site.
Mon Repos, the former Greek King’s royal summer residence, palaces, forts, museums, libraries, galleries, churches, public buildings and private mansions of a particular historical interest, as well as public and private archaeological sites make up Corfu Town. Lush olive groves, small picturesque ports, beaches with turquoise waters and areas of exceptional natural beauty comprise an unexpected landscape that leaves even the most demanding of visitors speechless. After touring the island, the visitor can taste the local cuisine, including the famous sofrito (veal with a strong garlic sauce) in one of the numerous taverns in and around Corfu Town. You can also go shopping for souvenirs, local handicraft items, clothes or anything else you might need. Summer shops stay open until late at night. In the evening you can have a sip of local DOP wine and relax watching the sun going down in one of the Town's wine bars. |
