Corfu
Town – Impressive, elegant island capital
Corfu Town can claim to be one of the finest and
most beautiful holiday centres in Greece and one
of the most interesting and elegant island
capitals of Europe. Corfu Town is built on a
defensive promontory in the middle of the east
coast of Corfu, just 2 miles north of the
airport and opposite the Greek mainland. This
exceptionally pretty, living city of around
30000 inhabitants is flanked by busy fishing and
yacht harbours. The attraction of a holiday in
Corfu Town is in exploring its extraordinary
impressive mix of architectural influences and
its cosmopolitan, colourful street life. Corfu
Town holidays enjoy the French ambience of the
Liston with its elegant arcades and cafes
modelled on Paris, and the 18th century Venetian
architecture of its winding narrow streets in
the amazing old town found between its two
fortresses. The old fortress is a highlight of
holidays in Corfu Town, with excellent views of
the city. Corfu Town has something reminiscent
of Italian Naples and Venice with a touch of
Paris!
