A Cultural tour in the Historical center of Corfu Old Town

The Old Town Center of Corfu, belonging to UNESCO World Heritage Sites, constitutes a unique, world-famous site.

Different nations, cultures, as well as customs and traditions of three distinct states, having occupied the island of Corfu in the last centuries, meet in the maze-like alleyways of the old town center. Brits, Venetians and French left their imprint on Corfu’s society, but Corfiots have managed to adopt some aspects of those cultures, maintaining their own traditions and habits and create the perfect culture mixing.

The old town of Corfu boasts numerous impressive and world-famous sites, each having its own unique historical development: tall fortresses, and magnificent palaces, still maintaining their power and magnificence; museums of historic significance and great architecture, old mansions and colorful houses constructed with the Venetian style, famous cosmopolitan squares and magnificent churches, indicating the strong religious beliefs of Corfiots.
