The main town of Corfu which has the island's same name must be one of the most beautiful, most impressive and most interesting cities in Greece.  Corfu Town is also the principal port and largest town in the Ionian Islands. Corfu town was built during the Venetian rule, between two fortresses.
The town's architecture is influenced by all the major civilizations that once, occupied the island like the Sicilians, the Venetians, the French and the British (more information on the “history section”). Today, the town houses a population of approximately 30.000 inhabitants.
It is an organised town offering elegant buildings, mansions, palaces and monuments lined in narrow paved streets with stone steps, beautiful and large French-designed squares full of trees and flowers, impressive Venetian castles, some Byzantine and post Byzantine churches…
