You meet the guide beneath the stone ramparts of the Old Fortress as gulls wheel above the harbor and the first Liston cafés prepare for the day. The city's limestone streets tilt and narrow, the air carrying salt, coffee, and the echo of footfalls on flagstone.
Corfu Town is a layered place: Byzantine churches, Venetian fortifications, and British-era neoclassical facades overlap in tight alleys. The Old Fortress, whose walls the tour begins outside, was reshaped by Venetians and later fortified against Ottoman raids; the Palace of St. Michael and St. George across the water reflects the island's 19th-century British chapter and now houses the Museum of Asian Art.
This small-group, two-hour walking tour is primarily urban exploration — paved streets, modest steps, and frequent stops for stories and photos. You will walk Liston, cross Spianada Square, step inside St. Spyridon Church for an exterior look, and thread through Campielo's backstreets where locals shop and linger.
Expect about two hours on your feet with limited elevation gain but some uneven stone underfoot. Practical points: wear supportive shoes, carry water, and time the tour in the morning or late afternoon to avoid midday heat in summer. The guide provides historical context and local tips; free time at the end lets you grab a coffee or browse local shops. Ideal for cruise passengers or anyone short on time who still wants an informed introduction to Corfu Town.
