Old Town of Corfu is one of the most beautiful and elegant historic towns in Greece. Located on the island of Corfu, the old town is famous for its Venetian architecture, narrow alleys, seaside fortresses, and cosmopolitan atmosphere. Because of its unique historical importance and excellent preservation, the city is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Unlike the white Cycladic villages of Santorini, Corfu Old Town has a distinctly Italian and Venetian appearance. The city was ruled by Venice for several centuries, and this influence can still be seen in its colorful buildings, arcaded squares, churches, and labyrinth-like streets known locally as \u201ckantounia.\u201d Also many travelers consider Corfu one of the most romantic Greek islands because of its relaxed atmosphere, architecture, and seaside scenery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
