Picturesque Beach in a Unesco Town

Corfu Old Town has a popular area that combines a main square, a graceful promenade, and a small swimming spot by the sea. This area is in the eastern part of the historic center of Corfu Town, which is the island's capital. The Old Town itself is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, guarded by two Venetian fortresses. The beach part of the Old Town is called Faliraki Beach. It is a small area below the walls of the Palace of St. Michael and St. George, close to the Old Fortress. Faliraki is not a large sandy beach, but a spot with clear water, a small pebbled area, and concrete platforms with steps or ladders to enter the sea. It is a favorite quick swimming spot for locals, offering a cool dip just steps away from the city center. It has a relaxed feeling and offers views of the Old Fortress and the small island of Vidos across the bay. #mediterranean
