Corfu – Jewel of the Ionian
Corfu blends centuries of Venetian, French, and British influence with the natural beauty of the Ionian Sea. Its old town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, sits beneath the island’s two historic fortresses overlooking the coastline.
Old and New Fortresses
The Old and New Fortresses anchor Corfu’s old town, their Venetian-era walls and bastions offering sweeping views across the harbour and the Ionian Sea beyond.
Old Town and Coast
Narrow cobbled streets and pastel-hued buildings give the old town its distinctive character, while beyond it the island’s beaches, palm-lined shores, and mountainous interior round out a varied coastal and cultural landscape.
