2Corfu Venetian Houses
Corfu Old town
Centuries of Venetian rule left Corfu with a distinctive architectural identity. Traditional houses feature elegant balconies, wooden shutters, arches, and colorful facades. Walking through Corfu Old Town feels more like exploring a historic Italian city than a typical Greek island.
Author’s note: As someone who lives in Corfu, I feel genuinely lucky to call this island home. Corfu Old Town is not just beautiful to visit; it is a living UNESCO-listed town, full of history, traditions, local markets, old Venetian buildings, and everyday life that still feels wonderfully authentic.
Worth visiting nearby: Corfu Old Town, Liston Promenade, Old Fortress, Achilleion Palace, and Kanoni.
