Hotels near Corfu Old Town (UNESCO)

Corfu Old Town has been inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2007, recognising the only surviving example of a complete Venetian fortified town in the Mediterranean. Read the full UNESCO criteria at the Old Town of Corfu listing. Wander the kantounia (narrow alleys), visit the Church of Saint Spyridon with the patron saint's relics, and end at the Campiello quarter where six-storey Venetian houses lean over washing-strung lanes. Plan a full day on foot. Most museums charge 4-6 EUR; opening hours run 08:30-15:30 in winter and 08:30-19:30 in summer.

Pro Tip: Walk the Old Town twice - once at 09:00 with a coffee, once at 21:30 when the lanterns come on, to see two different cities.
