Corfu

Corfu lies along the Ionian Sea on the island’s eastern shore, where fortified headlands face the Corfu Channel and the Greek mainland beyond. The UNESCO-listed Old Town bears the imprint of four centuries of Venetian rule: narrow lanes wind between ochre façades, while the Old Fortress and New Fortress recall the city’s strategic role in the eastern Mediterranean. The Spianada, the broad square between the old town and the Old Fortress, is a social centre and a venue for cricket, a legacy of British administration in the 19th century. Beyond its urban core, Corfu’s coast leads to coves, resorts and olive-growing countryside. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Corfu and the Ionian Islands.
