7Corfu – A Crossroad of Cultures

Corfu’s history is a fascinating blend of Venetian, French, and British influences, making it one of Greece’s most culturally diverse islands.

The Old Town of Corfu, another UNESCO World Heritage Site, is home to the imposing Old and New Fortresses, the Liston promenade, and the grand Palace of St. Michael and St. George. The Achilleion Palace, built by Empress Elisabeth of Austria, adds another historical layer to this enchanting island.
