Corfu Town is a medieval historic city build mostly during the Venetian era. It is a UNESCO world heritage sight and worth a visit! It is reminiscent of Venice, but instead of canals it has narrow cobbled streets, known as kandounia. The people are friendly and welcoming. The favourite pastime is drinking coffee al fresco at one of the local cafes in the town piazzas and gossiping! Local delicacies include koum-kouat, nouboulo, olive oil, yellow cheese, mandolato.

Corfu Town like any other medieval city is built between 2 fortresses, now known as the old and the new. The Old Venetian Fortress, a UNESCO listed monument is worth a visit. There is a delightful sea front restaurant inside (left route after main entrance) which is the locals' secret, as well as a cafe with sea views at its main square. Make sure to climb to the summit, the view will compensate your effort!
