Chronicles of Corfu
Corfu, the second-largest Ionian island, has a rich history dating back to the ancient Greeks. The city's Old Fortress, a 16th-century Venetian stronghold, dominates the eastern part of the old town, while the nearby Palace of St. Michael and St. George showcases the island's Byzantine and Venetian influences. In the 19th century, Corfu became a British protectorate, which is reflected in the city's elegant neoclassical architecture, such as the Liston Promenade, a picturesque arcade built during this period. Today, Corfu's cultural identity is a unique blend of Greek, Italian, and British influences, with a thriving arts scene and a strong sense of community.

Top Attractions in Corfu
💡 If you're visiting on a Sunday morning, you'll see a cricket match—Corfu is the only place in Greece where the sport is played regularly. Buy a cheese pie from a nearby bakery and sit by the Maitland Rotunda.
💡 Go just before 5pm if you want to hear the local women crowd in for the evening litany. Dress modestly—shoulders and knees covered. The reliquary can be kissed after the service if you follow the queue.
💡 Skip the cable car tourist train and walk from the end of the bus line (green bus from San Rocco Square, 1.50 euros). For a swim, take the little boat from the pier below the monastery to Vido Island—free if you swim across from the mainland (200m).
💡 Bring water and wear sturdy shoes—there are many steep steps and no shade. Entry costs 6 euros (2024), but the permanent archaeological exhibition inside is included.
💡 Entry is 4 euros, but free on the first Sunday of each month (November to March). The museum is small—you can do it properly in 45 minutes. Combine it with a walk through the nearby Anemomylos neighborhood for a coffee stop.
