Enlisted by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, Corfu’s Old Town demonstrates its strong cultural heritage that can be felt when strolling around its narrow cobblestone alleys, the so-called “kandounia”, the renowned Liston promenade or the vast Spaniada square. Moving farther away, you will discover picturesque villages, verdant islets, and wild natural landscapes. Don’t miss the trademark Mouse Island (Pontikonisi) and several sights, such as the Achileion Museum (the summer palace for Empress Sisi of Austria) or Mon Repos (the palace where the late Prince Philip of England was born).
