In Corfu Town lies the Old Fortress of Corfu, considered one of the most prolific fortifications across Europe. A rocky peninsula hosts the impressive fortress. Its allure unfolds while arriving by ferry. It was constructed by the Venetians and you can get there passing through Espianada square. Among others, you will come across the Byzantine Collection of Corfu and the Public Library of Corfu. 

Near Liston promenade, you 'll find the Asian Art Museum, the only museum of this kind in Greece. The building is an architectural landmark, used to accommodate the British High Commissioners of the Ionian islands. The exhibits vary from masks of the No theater, Chinese porcelains and bronzes to Samurai armor and weapons.

Kanoni and Mouse island can’t escape your bucket list. Kanoni is, in fact, a quarter of Corfu Town and one of its most photographed corners along with the church of Panagia Vlacherna that stand a little further down. Kanoni took its name from the old cannon that stands over the hill. Mouse island is only a five-minute boat ride from there; legend has it that the small islet is the ship of Ulysses that Poseidon turned into stone. Climb up to the hill to witness magical views of the sea.

Corfu is an island exuding its legendary character. The bucket list of sights worth visiting can go on forever, so prepare yourself for a dip in its distinct spirit.
