Introduction

Corfu Town is a Venetian-style city-state on the Ionian Sea, ruled in turn by Venice, France and Britain, a UNESCO World Heritage site. A chessboard of narrow lanes, the arcaded Liston promenade and Spianada square keep a strong Italian-Mediterranean air; the Old and New Fortresses guard the harbour over the Adriatic blue. Cafés, the Esplanade and seafront weave a lazy, elegant island rhythm — the most international and relaxed corner of western Greece.
