About the Port
Corfu, set in the Ionian Sea, pairs a storied old town with a coastline of olive groves, whitewashed villages, and turquoise coves. Its Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with roots reaching back to the 8th century BC, wears centuries of Venetian and later European rule in its layered architecture, narrow lanes, and grand squares. Two historic fortresses anchor the skyline, standing watch over a harbor that has drawn traders and travelers for generations.
Beyond the old quarter, the island unfolds into quiet fishing villages and beaches ranging from lively to secluded, all set against a backdrop of green hills. The Old Town's compact, walkable core sits close to the pier, making it easy to wander from cobblestone streets to seaside promenades in a single visit. Corfu rewards unhurried exploration, whether spent among historic arcades or along its shimmering coast.
Pavlus Recommendations
How our planners would spend a day in Corfu.
Explore the Old and New Fortresses
Climb the twin Venetian citadels flanking the harbor for sweeping sea views and centuries of layered fortifications; both are an easy walk from the pier and worth an hour or two each.
Wander the Liston Arcades
Stroll this elegant, French-inspired arcaded promenade facing the Spianada, Europe's largest square, lined with cafés perfect for people-watching between sightseeing stops.
Day-trip to Paleokastritsa
Head to this dramatic coastal area of turquoise coves and cliffside monastery views, about 25 minutes by car or taxi from the Old Town, for a taste of Corfu's wilder shoreline.
