Surrounded by the sea, the old town of Kerkyra is protected between its two fortresses. The paved streets and the historical buildings will bring you to the large beautiful Esplanade and the well-known Liston. A place that you can’t miss to visit and was built by the French engineer Lesseps who was inspired by the Rue Rivoli in Paris. The Liston with its nice gallery of coffee shops and restaurants is today the heart of the social life in Corfu. Due to the past English domination, near the Esplanade, on the north side, there is stands the Royal Palace of Corfu named after St. Michele and St. George.
