The Corfu experience
Description
In the beautifully Old Town of Corfu, a UNESCO world heritage site, Renaissance, Baroque and Classical combination is successfully applied to local artistic traditions. Palaces, austere public buildings, fortresses of the Venetian rule blend with lines of drying washing in tiny alleyways and small squares. Wandering through a complex of narrow cobbled streets with stairways and vaulted passages, the famous “kantounia”, will make you feel as if you’ve visited Genoa or even Naples.
Discover the most beautiful spots in the city of Corfu walking through Spianada, wich is largest square in the Balkans, located in the centre of the city, adorned with 19th-century remarkable works of French architecture. There you can watch cricket games, attend in musical concerts organised throughout the year. Visit Liston square, the city’s trademark, where the aristocrats used to enjoy their evening promenades. The remarkable arcades form the most romantic background setting for a welcome cup of coffee at one of the town’s cosy coffee shops. Do not miss the suburbs Mandouki, Garitsa and Saroko.
