Eating out

Local information

With a regular bus service running from the resort, a day or afternoon spent in Corfu Town is an attractive option. Wander through the Venetian Old Town, past Byzantine churches and shuttered buildings. At the city's heart is the Spianada, this area has a distinctly French feel, with its elegant row of cafes and manicured gardens. Here you can sip a coffee and watch a cricket game, as they still play on the green in the Spianada - another mark of Corfu's veritable cosmopolitan character.
