Amazing Corfu
Overlooking the turquoise-blue Ionian Sea, Corfu Town is the capital of the island of Corfu (Kérkyra). In a beautiful location on an eastern promontory, dominated by two sturdy fortresses, its lovely pedestrian-only old town is packed with elegant Italianate architecture, thanks to the period spent under Venetian-rule. Later, Corfu spent a period under British command, which has added some extra peculiarities to its cultural heritage. Today, Corfu's old town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
