Spent the day here on a trip from Parga. Really enjoyed the 7 hours we had wandering around the old town. Lovely shops and eating places. If you are holidaying in Corfu or Parga i would recommend coming here to enjoy a different place.

Sadly we had only a few hours to spend in Corfu Town and visited the Old Town quite briefly - what I saw left me quite impressed. There are plenty of colourful houses and lovely narrow streets with lovely cafes and restaraunts. I'm sure there is much more to see.

All those small shopping streets invite a stroll around old town. Definitely worth taking a look, but don’t expect too much. After 3-4 alleys most are the same. Though for the sharp eye there are some real treasures hidden here. Nice small bakery or restaurants hidden in the streets.

Excellent town to wander around and some very pleasant restaurants for lunch and dinner or just to watch the Corfu world go by. We visited for the day whilst waiting for our late evening flight home which was a perfect way to spend our last day on the island. For those doing similar I would recommend Flexy Luggage as a place to leave cases during the day .. excellent idea and service.

The city received its name from early settlers and means two tops (hills). These two hills now are topped with the second century Venetian old fort, and the fourth century Venetian new fort. Corfu had been shortly occupied by the French, and long time occupied by the British, so the town STRONGLY reflects British history and monuments before they left in 1830. One medium size cruise ship (2,500) showed up overnight, and later in the morning another medium size and a very large size cruise ship arrived. Estimated 8,000 visitors just off the three cruse ships + all the tourist (?? Number) that arrived by ferry this Sunday morning (and there are a lot off the Ferrys).

This place gives off such good vibes and it's usually very busy. There are a lot of small shops with merchandise and trinkets, and is overall fun to walk through the streets. One thing that could be improved a little is the litter.

Going about in Corfu from a cruise ship is easy. Out of the ship, look out for the blue public bus no. 16 which only runs when a ship is in port. If it is not there, walk outside the port gate to take blue bus no. 15. Both will bring you to the old town. Buy a day ticket for Euro 5. Bus no. 16 will drop you at a car park near the shore. Walk along the shore for about less than 5 minutes and you'll see an arch. It's next to the Asian Art Museum. Walk across the Esplanade and catch bus no. 2A. At the end of this route will be Kanoni, which is where Vlacherna Monastery and Mouse island is. When done, back to same bus stop to old town. After alighting, walk straight across the old town to San Rocca to take bus no. 10 to Achillion Palace if you wish. When done, same bus stop will bring you back to old town. The schedule on this route is less frequent, so look out for time. Last part is to go to the Old Fort, the churches, museums and walk around the old town. If you miss the no. 16 bus, not to worry. Go to San Rocco square and take bus no. 15 back. It's a slightly longer walk but no sweat.

The city center was lively and fun. Good shopping, food, people watching, and architectural history. It was not difficult to walk. I would suggest a cab over a bus, to get there. The busses are crowded. However, the bus is a cheap option. Cabs are crazy expensive.

We had a lovely walk through the old town & had nothing but friendly treatment. We came in on the city bus which was very good & and economic way to travel. Glad we did as parking looked scarce. We had a very nice lunch in Liston. Thank you to a trip advisor reviewer who said what a lovely area it was. I will review the restaurant separately. The architecture around Liston was stunning and views spectacular. Part of my reason for writing this review is that I really wanted to take issue with the reviewer who stated that Greeks were racist - Just because of one small incident. I saw absolutely no evidence of this. I did see a waiter being extremely kind and friendly to 6 beautiful black ladies having lunch at a restaurant. To judge a whole race of Greek people on one incident is outrageous & unfair. Perhaps the reviewer is the one who is racist.

It’s an Old Town, pretty much the same as any old town. Pleasant to wander around or sit & enjoy a coffee. The castle/fort is well worth the entry fee & offers spectacular views.
