Member of the Unesco’s World Heritage List, Corfu’s Old Town is waiting for you to discover it. Wander around its narrow alleys, the Kantounia, smell the aromas of jasmine mixed with the redolence of a local specialty being cooked and do not forget to take a photo of the freshly washed clothes, hanging above your head.

Built in the 1580s it houses the relics of Saint Spyridon, the protector saint of the island.It is a single-nave basilica and its bell tower is the highest in the Ionian Islands. In the Saint’s crypt there are 53 incense burners hanging from the ceiling, 18 of which are golden. Above the western door of the narthex the imperial coat of arms of the House of Romanov stands as a reminder that the church was under the nominal protection of Russia from 1807-1917

Built by the French at the beginning of the 19th century, as a replica of the Rue de Rivoli in Paris, it took its name by the Venetian word <lista>, which means long straight road or list/catalog. Only the aristocrats, whose names were written in the list of Libro d’ Oro, could walk through this architectural beauty.

Nowadays you can enjoy your walk, spend some relaxing time in one of the cafes spread along, and feel like an aristocrat yourself.
