What to expect
This striking 15th-century Venetian fortress guards the eastern edge of Corfu Town, with massive stone walls and bastions that plunge straight into the sea. From the top you’ll enjoy sweeping panoramas over the harbor and Old Town rooftops, while inside you can wander remnants of British and Venetian structures that tell the story of Corfu’s layered past.
The largest square in Greece, Spianada feels like the beating heart of Corfu Town. The French-built Liston arcade runs alongside, lined with arched walkways and elegant cafés — the perfect place to pause for a coffee. Between the manicured lawns, music pavilion, and lively outdoor seating, this central hub captures Corfu’s cosmopolitan charm.
Saint Spyridon Church
Dedicated to the island’s patron saint, this 16th-century church is a must-visit for its soaring bell tower, lavish interiors, and sacred relics. The atmosphere inside is serene, with flickering candles and Byzantine icons, while outside the narrow street is always buzzing with locals and pilgrims alike.
Housed in an elegant neoclassical palace from Corfu’s British era, this museum showcases one of Europe’s finest collections of Asian art. The palace itself is worth admiring for its architecture and colonnades, while inside, treasures from China, Japan, and beyond highlight Corfu’s surprising global connections.
