Corfu Old Town
Corfu’s Old Town is a UNESCO-listed maze of narrow alleys (kantounia), Venetian and French colonial architecture, and church domes between two hilltop fortresses. Free to walk. The Liston promenade (modeled on the Rue de Rivoli in Paris) and the Spianada (the largest square in Greece) anchor the town. Budget travelers arrive by cheap ferry from Igoumenitsa or by budget airline, walk the kantounia, and discover a Greek island town that feels more Italian than Greek.
