The Bazaar of Corfu Old Town (Greece)
Otherwise known as “Campiello,” this area is the fascinating maze of narrow streets, alleyways and steps that are squeezed between the Old Fort - Old Port - New Fort. It is like a miniature Venice with much of its appeal being the residential atmosphere. In centuries gone by this area was surrounded by city walls, long since torn down, but the only way to expand the living quarters was to go upwards. Therefore it is full of high buildings and you can often see laundry strung across the alleyways. This is a lovely part of the town worth visiting. Corfu Old Town is a shopper's paradise.
Being in the Old Town of Corfu (Kerkyra) trully is amazing. It has a fascinating road network, complemented by small squares which also developed naturally. They are mainly found in front of churches, and apart from their function as a place for social gaterings, they are necessary breathing spaces and commercial shopping areas in the densely-populated town. Shopping in Kerkyra might just only be a pretext for going back - yet again - into the magical mediaeval world of the Campiello, designer jewellery, high fashion boutiques, atmospheric antique shops, gift shops with a personal air and a touch of ethnic interest, workshops housing woodcarvers and traditional Venetian cabinet-makers. Folk art, contemporary trends and the Venetian heritage paraded before our eyes in the colourful images and successive surprises concealed in the labyrintine lanes of Kerkyra. Beautifully decorated window displays and colourful folklore stands, designer pret a porter and kumkuats, a 13th century church and a Venetian well, lines of washing hanging above our heads and the philharmonic playing: shopping in Kerkyra is a fascinating business!
Old city is also UNESCO World Heritage since 2007.
Cel mai deosebit sentiment pe care îl poți avea vizitând Corfu Town îl trăieşti când te rătăceşti în Kantounia care este un labirint de străzi înguste pavate cu pietre rotunde, acolo unde se află cea mai reuşită arhitectură a oraşului şi unde găseşti câte o surpriză la fiecare colţ al străzii.

CORFU ???????? Paradise In 24 Hours | Best Beaches & Old Town | Greece Travel Vlog
Corfu Greece is paradise! In this vlog we travel around to check out the best beaches, explore the old town and other things to do in...⬇ More Below ✈ Our 220 page guide on how to travel non-stop —
Corfu is a special place to travel in Greece - it's an established enough island there's loads of things to do, not too hard to find what to do in Corfu online, has loads of different beach options ( Rovinia is our fav!), a beautiful old town and some of the best beaches we've seen in terms of water clarity. On the other hand, it still feels very local and raw!
We went to a few beaches in Corfu and this day was our favourite beach - this was called Rovinia beach, it's definitely one of the more local spots in Corfu and it's also less commercialised... which we love.
The Corfu Old Town is something you can't really miss, much like anywhere else in Greece, it's worth exploring the old town to get a feel for that contrast between the old and new. Admittedly after a day at the beach it was hard for us to appreciate the city vibe after being in nature, but Corfu old town is particularly beautiful.
This is the first of our 4 Greek island vlogs - if you can't wait for the other episodes check out the few vids we made from Mykonos and Santorini last year here:

CORFU TOWN, CORFU, GREECE 2016

Corfu Town is the capital of the Greek island of Corfu, in the Ionian Sea. It’s known for its cobblestone streets and pastel-colored Venetian architecture. To the west, the Venetian-built New Fortress has a network of tunnels underneath and views over the harbor. The 15th-century Old Fortress overlooks the town from the east and features a small chapel and mosaics. The Esplanade is a landscaped park near the water.
Corfu City - part 1 / Πόλη της Κέρκυρας
Corfu is a city and a former municipality on the island of Corfu, Ionian Islands, Greece. Since the 2011 local government reform, it is part of the municipality of Corfu island. It is the capital of the island and of the Corfu regional unit. The city also serves as a capital for the region of the Ionian Islands. The city (population 24,838 in 2011) is a major tourist attraction, and has played an important role since antiquity.The ancient city of Corfu, known as Korkyra, took part in the Battle of Sybota which was a catalyst for the Peloponnesian War, and, according to Thucydides, the largest naval battle between Greek city states until that time. Thucydides also reports that Korkyra was one of the three great naval powers of fifth century BC Greece, along with Athens and Corinth.Medieval castles punctuating strategic locations across the city are a legacy of struggles in the Middle Ages against invasions by pirates and the Ottomans. The city has become known since the Middle Ages as Kastropolis (Castle City) because of its two castles. From 1386 to 1797, Corfu was ruled by Venetian nobility; much of the city reflects this era when the island belonged to the Republic of Venice, with multi-storied buildings on narrow lanes. The Old Town of Corfu has clear Venetian influence.The city was subjected to four notable sieges in 1537, 1571, 1573 and 1716, in which the strength of the city defenses asserted itself time after time, mainly because of the effectiveness of the powerful Venetian fortifications. Will Durant claimed that Corfu owed to the Republic of Venice the fact that it was the only part of Greece never conquered by the Ottomans.
