Best places to visit in Corfu Town

  • Old Fortress (Palaio Frourio) — a Venetian fortress with roots dating back to the Byzantine era, offering sweeping views over the town and the sea
  • The Liston — an elegant French-built arcade of cafés along the edge of Spianada Square, ideal for people-watching over a coffee
  • Corfu Old Town — a UNESCO World Heritage Site of narrow Venetian lanes (locally called kantounia), packed with shops, tavernas, and hidden courtyards
  • Saint Spyridon Church — home to the relics of Corfu's patron saint, with a history on the site dating back to 1456
  • Spianada Square (the Esplanade) — one of the largest squares in the Balkans, a leafy, open space perfect for a relaxed stroll between sights

What day-trippers should know before visiting Corfu

  • Bring your passport — this crosses an international border from Albania into Greece, so passport control applies on both sides
  • Account for the time difference — Corfu is one hour ahead of Saranda, which affects both how you plan your day and when your return ferry actually gets you back
  • Book ahead in summer, when demand and prices both rise — tickets are easy to arrange at the port off-season, but advance booking is safer in July and August
  • Check the timetable for your travel dates specifically — sailing frequency changes dramatically by season, from near-hourly departures in summer to just one sailing a day in winter
  • Corfu Old Town is compact and walkable — the main sights are close enough together that you don't need transport once you're off the ferry
  • Consider the standard ferry if you're not in a rush — it's often cheaper than the fast ferry, and the extra 30–60 minutes on the water gives you more time to enjoy the coastal views between Albania and Greece
