Corfu Town (Kerkyra) is a principal port and the largest town in the
Ionian islands. It is built between two Venetian castles, having its own
unique atmosphere. It is a thriving mass of shops and businesses, set
amongst a captivating and charming assortment of elegant buildings,
churches, imposing fortresses and narrow alleyways leading to hidden
squares. The tall buildings with the 'volta' (arches), the 'cantounia'
(narrow flagstoned streets), the 'mouragia' (sea-walls) are showing all a
clear Italian influence.
