Corfu, or Kerkyra as it is known in Greek, has been one of the most coveted islands in the Mediterranean for millennia. Empires and kingdoms—from the ancient Corinthians to the Romans and from the Byzantine Empire to the Venetians, French and British—have fought battles to lay their claim to its stunning verdant landscapes and sparkling blue seas. And for centuries, Corfu has also been a favorite destination for royals and aristocrats, who built their summer palaces on the island’s lush hills to enjoy the Greek sun and the glorious Ionian Sea.

UNESCO World Heritage

With its roots in the 8^th century BCE, the Old Town of Corfu is a UNESCO recognized world heritage site, internationally renowned for its cultural significance and the numerous monuments that line its streets. Explore its two forts, which stand magnificently over the Old Town—the Old Citadel, which in its earliest incarnation has stood on the site since 6^th century CE, and the New Fortress, which was built in the 16^th century—and visit the Campiello, the Old Town’s oldest district, to wander the narrow alleyways and small plazas and let its enchanting atmosphere transport you through time.
