Corfu Old Town: Discover the History
Just a short drive from Benitses lies the cosmopolitan capital of the island, Corfu Town, the administrative center of the Ionian Islands and a place where centuries of history and culture come together. Strongly influenced by Venetian rule, which lasted for many centuries, Corfu has welcomed numerous civilizations over time, shaping its unique architectural and cultural identity.
The town is divided into the modern New Town and the historic Corfu Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most picturesque historic centers in Greece. Here, visitors can wander through the famous kantounia—the charming narrow streets filled with colorful buildings, small shops, cafés, and hidden squares that reflect the elegance of past centuries.
Among the most important landmarks are the impressive Spianada Square, the largest square in the Balkans, the elegant Liston Promenade with its arcades and lively cafés, and the historic Old Fortress of Corfu and New Fortress of Corfu that overlook the town. Museums dedicated to Byzantine and post-Byzantine history further reveal the island’s rich heritage.
Beyond the town itself, visitors can explore nearby landmarks such as the iconic Pontikonisi and the famous Achilleion Palace, making Corfu Town a perfect destination for those wishing to discover the island’s history, culture, and timeless beauty
