Exploring Corfu Town by foot

#hellohalloween Corfu Town is one of those ports that instantly charms you the moment you step ashore. From the cruise terminal, it’s about a 25-minute walk or a short taxi ride into the UNESCO-listed old town — and it’s absolutely worth exploring on foot. There are taxis waiting at the cruise port when you disembark and you can expect to pay around €15 for the ride. We wandered through a maze of cobbled lanes lined with pastel-coloured Venetian buildings, green shutters, and little balconies overflowing with flowers. The mix of Greek, French and Italian influences gives Corfu Town such a unique feel — it’s lively but never completely overwhelming. The heart of town, Liston Promenade, is a great place to stop for a cold drink or coffee and just watch local life pass by. From there, it’s an easy stroll to Spianada Square — one of the largest squares in Greece — and on to the Old Fortress, which offers sweeping views across the Ionian Sea. We loved ducking into the smaller side streets, where you’ll find boutique shops, bakeries selling honey-soaked pastries, and locals chatting in shaded courtyards. If you’ve got time, the New Fortress and St. Spyridon Church are both worth seeing, but the real joy of Corfu Town is just letting yourself get lost among the lanes. It’s a relaxed, walkable stop — full of character, colour and sea views at every turn. #cruiseholiday #corfu
