Ioannis Kapodistrias Statue: A Tribute to Corfu's Legacy

Getting There

• Walking

  If you are starting from the Old Town of Corfu, head towards the main square, Spianada, which is the largest square in Greece. From there, exit the square towards the Liston promenade. Walk along the Liston, enjoying the view of the fortress, and continue straight until you reach the 19th-century Church of Saint Spyridon, which is a well-known landmark. From the church, take the road leading towards the west side of the town, following the signs for Akadimias street. After about a 15-minute walk, you will reach the Ioannis Kapodistrias Statue, located on Akadimias street. The statue is situated in a small park area, making it a pleasant stop.

• Bus

  If you prefer to take public transport, you can catch a local bus from the Corfu Bus Station. Look for the bus that heads towards the city center or the 'Kerkira' line. Once on the bus, stay on until you reach a stop near the Old Town. From there, follow the walking directions provided above, as the statue is only a short distance from the bus stop. Make sure to check the bus schedule, as buses may not run frequently.

• Bicycle

  For those interested in cycling, you can rent a bicycle in the Old Town of Corfu. Once you have your bike, head towards the Liston promenade and cycle west towards the Church of Saint Spyridon. From there, continue on Akadimias street, which is accessible by bicycle. The ride will take about 10-15 minutes, depending on your speed. The statue is located on Akadimias street, where you can easily park your bike and enjoy the site.
