Private Tour: Paleokastritsa and Corfu Town
Duration
8 hours
Overview
-
The main town of Corfu is one of the most interesting cities in Greece due to the heavy influence of the Venetians who for centuries controlled the island. The population of the town of Corfu is quite cosmopolitan compared to the other Greek islands. It is an interesting mixture of old tavernas, new cafes, discos, clubs and shops of all types plus an amazing old city that sits in a protected area between the two fortresses.The theatre of San Giacomo constructed entirely of stone in the style of the Italian Renaisance had it's foundations first laid in 1663 and is just one example of then many historical buildings that make walking the streets of this city a pleasure.
The town really resembles an Italian city though their are other influences such as the Liston, the building which borders the main esplanade or Spianada, built by the French, which houses some of the finest cafes and restaurants in Corfu.
