6Corfu Town

Corfu Town, the island’s capital sits on a peninsular on the east coast and was the perfect lookout point for the island’s many conquerors over the centuries. Today it is a labyrinth of cobbled streets lined with colorful Venetian buildings, with small squares around every turn.

Many an hour can be spent in this enchanting town with boutiques and gift shops to browse and some 50 Greek Orthodox churches to visit. Around every corner is a perfect Instagram picture postcard scene and there are plenty of places to enjoy a cold refreshment in the shade to escape the intense Greek summer sunshine.
